STANDISH, Maine – Five members of the Saint Joseph's College women's soccer program—seniors Eliese Perron (South Portland, Maine), Lelia Weir (Bar Harbor, Maine), and Emilienne Biddings-Augustine (New Gloucester, Maine), along with sophomores Abbey Laney (Standish, Maine) and Fridah Mwaghania (Nairobi, Kenya)—have been named to the College Sports Communicators' 2025 Academic All-District Women's Soccer Team, as announced Tuesday afternoon.

Perron, a senior forward and Health & Wellness major, earns Academic All-District honors for the third year in a row after starting all 15 games she appeared in this fall and tallying three goals and two assists for eight points. Over her four-year career, she played in 55 games with 43 starts, recording seven goals, three assists, and three game-winners.

Weir, a senior midfielder majoring in Business Management & Marketing, collects Academic All-District accolades for the second straight season.
