ITHACA, N.Y -- Junior infielder \#Jennifer McKinley\# of Millsaps College earned her second postseason accolade in as many days, this time being selected to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District VI Second Team as voted upon by more than 2,300 members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). 

The Academic All-District VI honor from CoSIDA is the second for McKinley in as many seasons, as she was tabbed a First Team selection in 2008. McKinley likely would've been selected to the Academic All-District VI Team in 2007 after hitting a stifling .417 but was not eligible being a freshman.

McKinley balanced a 3.69 GPA in biology with the same solid effort on the diamond, leading the Majors in eight statistical categories and ranking in the Top 15 in the SCAC in four of those.  The Frisco, Texas, native finished with a team-best .389 average, 13 doubles, 27 RBIs and a .584 slugging percentage.

The Academic All-District VI team is comprised of student-athletes from schools in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. 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 his/her current institution. 

Nominated athletes must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's games at the position listed on the nomination form (where applicable). In baseball and softball, pitchers must have at least 10.0 innings pitched.  Also, no student-athlete is eligible until he/she has completed one full calendar year at his/her current institution and has reached sophomore athletic eligibility.
