CoSIDA Academic All-District Teams (PDF)

GREENWOOD, Ind. (May 7, 2021) -- Junior forward Izzy Lipinski (Farmington, Conn.) of the Franklin Pierce University women’s basketball team has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District I First Team, as announced on Thursday by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America). As a result of the selection, Lipinski will also advance to the Academic All-America ballot.

To be eligible for selection, each student-athlete must own a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average or higher, be at least a sophomore in academic standing and be a starter or significant contributor athletically. The Academic All-District and All-America teams are voted on by sports information directors in the district and nation, respectively.

For the winter 2020-21 season, criteria was altered to allow student-athletes to be nominated based on their career body of work, rather than just the 2020-21 campaign. This temporary change was made due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is the first career Academic All-District honor for Lipinski, who earned Northeast-10 Conference All-Academic Team accolades in 2019-20.

For her career, Lipinski has appeared in 52 games for the Ravens, including 51 starts. She has averaged 14.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. Lipinski was an All-NE10 Second Team selection as a sophomore in 2019-20 and an NE10 All-Rookie Team pick as a freshman in 2018-19.

Academic All-America teams for basketball are slated to be announced on Thursday, May 27.
