Moriah Hodge Earns Academic All-District Honors
MCLEAN, Va. - University of Tampa student-athlete Moriah Hodge is among the honorees for the 2012‐13 Capital One Academic All-District® Women's Basketball Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Hodge is one of seven NCAA Division II players honored from District 5 and one of three from the Sunshine State Conference.
The senior forward from Cincinnati, Ohio, is a business management major at UT. In 17 games, she currently ranks second in scoring at 12.2 points per game. She also averages 5.3 rebounds and has tallied 34 assists, 11 blocks and 30 steals. While starting all 17 games, she has scored in double figures 11 times this year.
The all-district teams have 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.
The Academic All‐District ® teams include the student‐athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the second 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 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 2012‐13 DII and DIII Academic All‐America® teams program.
First‐team 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 later this month.
