MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Three Middle Tennessee Volleyball student-athletes have been tabbed to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team.
Taylor Eisert, Laure Jansen and Kaylee Oscarson were all named to the All-District team and will advance to the Academic All-America ballot. This is the most recipients that MTSU has had in a single season.
"It is a special day when three of our young ladies are recognized for both their athletic and academic achievements," said MTSU Head Coach Chuck Crawford. "We posted the sixth best offense in the nation this season along with 20 wins as well as our seventh consecutive AVCA Team Academic Award. Taylor, Kaylee and Laure are a significant reason for our success."
The 2023 Academic All-District® Volleyball teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes volleyball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists are denoted with an asterisk and will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced Jan. 9, 2024.
