LEWISBURG, Pa. – A dozen student-athletes from six different sports earned spots on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) At-Large Academic All-District Teams on Tuesday.
Bucknell's honorees were Connor Davis, Louie Germain, Owen Kovacs, and Will Pickering from men's lacrosse; Kira Leclercq, Lily Neilson, and Nicky Punt from field hockey; Kalena Gatesman and Kona Glenn from rowing; Izzy Lippolis from women's water polo; Sean Tunnicliff from men's water polo; and Kurt Phipps from wrestling.
Neilson, a two-time All-American who earned the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in Bucknell's Class of 2025, was selected to advance to the national Academic All-America ballot. Those honorees will be announced on July 8.
CSC Academic All-America candidates must have a minimum 3.50 cumulative grade-point average in at least their sophomore year academically and athletically, and they must meet certain sport-specific playing-time requirements. The at-large program covers all NCAA-sponsored sports that do not have their own voting process.
Bucknell's 12 at-large honorees combined for a 3.73 GPA, and all have been prominent members of their teams.
