For the second consecutive year, senior Mandi Roemmich (West Des Moines, Iowa) of the Drake University softball team, has been selected to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District 6 First Team.
 
The all-district accolade is another top academic honor for Roemmich this spring, which includes being named the Missouri Valley Conference's first-ever Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year, selected to the MVC Scholar-Athlete First Team for the third time and named Drake's MVC State Farm Good Neighbor spring award recipient.   
 
An excellent student, Roemmich holds a 4.00 GPA in biology and will graduate this weekend. She was named to the 2019 CoSIDA Academic All-America First Team. Roemmich will start dental school this fall at the University of Iowa.
 
Honorees selected first-team Academic All-District® will advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. Academic All-America® honorees will be announced from June 8-11. Roemmich will look to become just the second Drake softball student-athlete to earn multiple academic all-America honors, joining Laura Bowden, a three-time honoree from 1991-93.
 
The 2020 Academic All-District® Softball Team, selected by CoSIDA, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CoSIDA Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four
divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
