GREENWOOD, Ind. – Millsaps softball sophomore standout
Allana Vasquez was recognized for her success on the diamond as well as in the classroom as she was named to the 2025 CSC Academic All-District® Softball Team, selected by the College Sports Communicators on Tuesday.
The 2025 Academic All-District® Softball teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the diamond and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.
An undergraduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale). Additionally, student-athletes must compete in 90 percent of the institution's games/contests played or must start in at least 66 percent of the institution's games/contests. Pitchers must have made 17 appearances or totaled 25 innings pitched. They must also be sophomores or further into their collegiate academic careers.
Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot denoted with an asterisk. First-, second and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced on Tuesday, June 17.
