Dayton's Andrea Hoover Named First-Team Academic All-District Honoree

University of Dayton women's basketball senior Andrea Hoover has been named to the Capital One District 5 First Team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Thursday, Feb. 5. Hoover is the first Flyer to earn the regional honor since 2012 and this is the eighth time a UD player has been recognition on a regional team.

First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.

The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the fourth year of the expanded Academic All-America program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
