Four SAU volleyball student-athletes named CSC Academic All-District

The College Sports Communicators (CSC) recently released its Academic All-District® teams. The accolade recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom.

Southern Arkansas student-athletes receiving recognition were juniors Landry Rogers and Morgan Schuster as well as sophomores Isla Olivas and Ava Tanner. All four athletes are now eligible for Academic All-America honors.

An Arlington, Texas native, Schuster was recently named an All-GAC Honorable Mention alongside teammate Rogers. Rogers, a Salado, Texas native, accompanied Schuster on the GAC leaderboard throughout most of the season, finding representation in the kills and points categories while the outside hitter, Schuster, occupied the assists stats. The junior setter, Schuster, added another 678 helpers to her school-record to finish her fourth season with 2802 career assists. Rogers recorded a career season, notching the most kills, total attacks and digs of her three seasons. For more on the duo's impressive seasons, click here. Schuster maintains a 3.94 grade point average while majoring in Biology: Pre-Health and Rogers boasts a 3.96 GPA majoring in Elementary Education.

Olivas, a Business Administration: International Business major, carries a 4.00 average. The middle hitter's success in the classroom is accompanied by accomplishments on the court. The Fort Worth, Texas native represents one of four Muleriders to record 100 or more kills in the 2022 season and recorded the most Mulerider blocks with 60.0 on the season.

Tanner maintains a 4.00 grade point average majoring in Business Administration: Financial Planning. The middle hitter from Brock, Texas improved upon her 2021 season by recording more kills, total attacks, service aces, digs and points in her 2022 campaign.
