NU’s Van Loo Named to the Academic All-District® Women’s Basketball Team
CORVALLIS, Ore. – The 2019-20 Academic All-District® Women’s Basketball Team, selected by CoSIDA and released Thursday, recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CoSIDA Academic All-America® program separately recognizes basketball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
The Cascade Collegiate Conference had one representative on the team in Northwest University’s Sam Van Loo. The sophomore elementary education major boasts almost a perfect 4.00 GPA and is a key member of the Eagles’ women’s basketball squad.
To be nominated, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at her current institution. First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team (if applicable) Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in mid-March.
The NAIA CoSIDA Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported through the NAIA national office. For more information about CoSIDA’s Academic All-District® and Academic All-America® Teams program, visit AcademicAllAmerica.com on CoSIDA.com.
