Nick Ferreiro and Erin Plachy Named Academic All-District
MCLEAN, Va. - A pair of University of Tampa
student-athletes have been selected to the 2015 Capital One
Academic All-District® At-Large team for their work in the
classroom as a student-athlete. The award was selected by the
College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Nick Ferreiro from the men's lacrosse team and women's swimmer Erin
Plachy are among the nominees.
The list has been released to recognize the nation's top
student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and
in the classroom. Capital One has been the entitlement rights
holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America teams programs since
2011.
Voting for Academic All-District is conducted among member sports
information directors across the district.
The Academic All-District® teams include the student-athletes
that are divided into eight geographic districts across the United
States and Canada. This is the third year of the expanded Academic
All-America® program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a
University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non
Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored.
The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and
NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic
All-America® Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year
schools.
The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America®
program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and
III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling
the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2013-14 DII and DIII
Academic All-America® teams program.
Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One
Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and
third-team All-America honorees will be selected at a later
date.
