FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Feb. 2, 2012

Capital One Academic All

‐

District ® Women’s Basketball Teams Released



The 2012 Capital One Academic All‐District ®Women’s Basketball Teams, selected by the College Sports Information

Directors of America, have been released to recognize the nation’s top student‐athletes for their combined performances athletically

and in the classroom. Capital One became the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA’s Academic All‐America teams programs in 2011.

The Academic All‐District ®teams include the student‐athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight

geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the first year of the expanded Academic All‐America®program as

CoSIDA moves from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non‐Division I) and doubles the number

of scholar‐athletes honored. The teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the

College Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two‐year schools.

The Capital One Division II and III Academic All‐America®program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II

and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2011‐12 DII and DIII

Academic All‐America®teams program.

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.
