GREENWOOD, Ind. – Saints senior Gabriel Eduarte and sophomore Benjamin Anderson were recognized for their combination of academics and athletics on Tuesday, being named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District squad, as announced by the CSC on Tuesday, Nov. 25.

To be eligible for selection to the CSC Academic All-District teams, a student-athlete must compete in 90 percent of a team's matches or start in at least 66 percent of contests throughout the year.

Other criteria necessary for selection include that nominees must be a sophomore in athletic and academic standing and hold a 3.50 cumulative GPA. Transfer students in their first semester at a new institution are now also eligible, provided they have a 3.50 or higher cumulative GPA at their previous institution.

Graduate students are judged based on their final undergraduate cumulative GPA for nomination until a new graduate program GPA has been established.

Eduarte makes his second consecutive appearance on the CSC Academic All-District squad after playing in all 18 matches for the Saints this season. Anderson earns his first selection in his first year of eligibility after playing and starting in 17 matches for Emmanuel in 2025.

Unlike in past years, the nomination to the Academic All-District team does not necessarily move a student-athlete into consideration for the Academic All-American® ballot. A committee, comprised of Academic All-American® Core Members and members from the CSC will determine which athletes move to the All-American ballot.

Once the ballot is released, CSC members have until Dec. 2 to vote for Academic All-Americans®. The CSC will announce the Academic All-American® First, Second, and Third Teams on Tuesday, Dec. 16.
