Panther golfers, wrestlers honored with CSC Academic All-District recognition

GREENWOOD, Ind. --- Six UNI golfers and a trio of Panther wrestlers have picked up College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honors, as announced by CSC on Tuesday.

Golfers Rylie Driskell, Madison Humke, Anna Jensen, Anna Nacos, Griffin Parker and Thomas Storbeck, along with wrestlers Kyle Biscoglia, Tyrell Gordon and Noah Glaser were all selected to the honor, which recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the athletic realm and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

CSC sponsors Academic All-America recognition for men's soccer, women's soccer, football, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, men's swimming & diving, women's swimming & diving, men's tennis, women's tennis, baseball, softball and men's and women's track and field/cross country. At-large berths are up for grabs from those student-athletes competing in wrestling, golf, lacrosse, rowing, gymnastics, and numerous other NCAA-sponsored sports.

Driskell, Humke, Jensen and Nacos all played a key effort in the UNI women's golf team finishing ninth at last month's Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Championships in Waterloo, Illinois, while Parker and Storbeck's play helped propel the Panther men's golf team to a third-place finish at the conference championships in Coal Valley, Illinois. On the wrestling mats, Biscoglia, Gordon and Glaser all represented UNI at the Big 12 Championships, with Biscoglia and Gordon both advancing to the NCAA Championships in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Academic All-District honorees automatically advance to the CSC Academic All-America ballot. First-, second and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced June 21.
