Radford University soccer player Jessica Wollmann has been named to a national watch list for the 2018 senior class.
Radford University Senior Jessica Wollmann was named among 30 candidates for the 2018 Senior CLASS Award on Wednesday morning.

She has totaled 17 goals during her time at Radford with a career-high seven coming last season. She has a team-best five goals already this season, which is currently second in the Big South.
Not only is Wollmann a valuable asset on the pitch, but also, she is a valuable asset in the community. Wollmann has done a lot in her time at Radford. Heavily involved in clubs and various organizations on campus, Wollmann has been an intricate part of festivals and events around the campus and community. The 4.0 student-athlete has been on the Dean’s List every semester since 2015 and named First Team CoSIDA Academic All-District and Second Team CoSIDA All-American in 2017.
An acronym for “Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School” (CLASS), the senior award focuses on the total student-athlete and encourages students to use their platform in athletics to make a positive impact as leaders in their communities.
The candidates will be narrowed to 10 finalists midway through the regular season, and those 10 names will be placed on the official ballot. Ballots will be distributed through a nationwide voting system to media, coaches and fans, who will select one male candidate and one female candidate who best exemplifies excellence in the four Cs of community, classroom, character and competition.
The Senior CLASS Award winners will be announced during the 2018 NCAA Men’s and Women’s College Cup championships in December.
