Capital One Academic All-District Release
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern softball player
Laura Saladrigas (Jr., Hollywood, Fla.) picked up her second post-season honor in as many days, garnering a selection to the Capital One Academic All-District Team Thursday, as announce by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Saladrigas was one of 12 student-athletes selected to the Division-5 team, chosen as the district’s designated player. Members of the team are selected from the Gulf South, Southern Intercollegiate and Sunshine State Conferences. To be nominated for selection a student-athlete must carry a cumulative 3.30 GPA and completed at least one full academic year at their current school. On the field, a player must be a starter or an integral reserve to their team.
A stellar student with a 3.36 GPA as a biology major and the Sharks’ deep-threat designated player, Saladrigas met both of the required qualifications. The junior holds one of the best GPA’s on the team and on the field is among the most dominant power hitters in the SSC. She led the conference with 13 homers this season, setting a new single-season program record in that category. She finished in a three-way tie for the conference lead in RBI with 44, leading to a selection to the All-SSC Second-Team Wednesday.
Those student-athletes selected as 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.
