The 2011 CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District Teams for women's volleyball were announced today (November 4) by the Academic All-America® Committee.  Two Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) student-athletes earned Academic All-District honors.

Both GLIAC students earned Second Team Academic All-District status. Hillsdale Collge junior Clara Leutheuser (Hillsdale, Mich.) and Grand Valley State University senior Rebeccah Rapin (Saginaw, Mich.) were honored among the Districts best scholar-athletes.

The ESPN Academic All-District teams are nominated and voted upon by the nation’s sports information directors. To be eligible, student-athletes must have a 3.30 cumulative grade point average or higher and not be in their first year at their institution. District IV in the college division includes all non-Division I football student-athletes from schools in the states of Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee.

Two or three Academic All-District teams are chosen in each district, with those on the All-District first teams placed on the national ballot for Academic All-America consideration.
