TRAFFORD, Pa. (pacathletics.org) - The recently announced College Sports Communicators (CSC) 2026 Academic All-District® Softball Teams were highlighted by 39 student-athletes from Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) programs.

The 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.

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 June 16, 2026.

To be eligible for CSC Academic All-District®, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher and must compete in 90 percent of the institution's games played OR must start in at least 66 percent of the institution's games. For pitchers, a student-athlete must have made at least 17 appearances OR pitched 35 innings.

Four PAC programs had five players recognized on the list, including Saint Vincent College, Thiel College, Washington & Jefferson College and Waynesburg University. Bethany College, Geneva College and PAC champion Westminster College placed four each on the team, while Allegheny College and Hiram College were represented with three on the list and Grove City College had one earn a spot on the team.

Of the 39 on the Academic All-District® Softball Team, five will be on the national ballot for Academic All-America® consideration. Westminster will have three on the national ballot, while Bethany and Waynesburg will have one each up for consideration.

In addition to their academic success, many of the honored were also standouts on the diamond. A total of 19 collected All-PAC laurels this year, while four were selected for the PAC Sportsmanship Team.
