Bowling Has Three Selected To CSC’s Academic All-District ® Team
Jun 25, 2024 | Women's Bowling
Greenwood, Indiana – The Tulane bowling program had three members of the team selected for the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District ® Women's At-Large Team, the organization announced this afternoon.
The three that earned a spot are Sofiia Druchyna, Morgan Gitlitz and Katharina Mente.
The three are first bowling student-athletes named CSC Academic All-District since Amelia Vasquez earned the same distinction following the 2022-23 campaign.
In order to be a member of the CSC's Academic All-District Team, a student-athlete needs to have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or above and be a sophomore or higher in academic class.
The College Sports Communicators, formerly the College Sports Information Director of America, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes at-large honorees in four divisions – NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
Druchyna, Gitlitz and Mente, as Academic All-District ® honorees, now advances to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First, second and third-team Academic All-America® honorees are set to be announced on July 16.
In early May, eight Tulane student-athletes were named to the CUSA Commissioner's Honor Roll in Yarelis Alvarez, Kristen Derr, Druchyna, Emma Fetterman, Gitlitz, Linnea Holcomb, Mente and Cassidy Williams for having a 3.0 and above cumulative GPA.
Additionally, Druchyna and Fetterman were honored with a CUSA Commissioner Academic Medal for having a 3.75 or higher cumulative GPA for the 2023-24 school year.
On the season, Derr had the team's most pins at 10,337 and average at 202.6. She also had the highest game on the squad as she rolled a 280 at the Stormin' Blue and White Classic.
Tulane finished the season with an overall record of 63-43 (59.4 winning percentage) and ranked No. 15 in the final National Tenpin Coaches Association (NTCA) poll. The team qualified and competed in the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) Intercollegiate Team Championships from April 18-19 in Kentucky. The program also saw Morgan Gitlitz competed in the Intercollegiate Singles Championships this season.
This year's Tulane roster featured six returners in Gitlitz, Alvarez, Druchyna, Mente, Mia Stolakis and Williams plus four newcomers in Juanelyz Solla, Fetterman, Derr and Holcomb. Stolakis became the first Tulane bowler to ever qualify for the Junior USA Team with her performance at US Team Trials from Jan. 2-7. Derr became the seventh Tulane player to ever earn NTCA All-American accolades with her honorable mention selection this season.
