GREENWOOD, Ind. — The 2025-26 Women's Academic All-District At-Large teams were released by College Sports Communicators on Tuesday afternoon. Six CSP athletes earned the honor with Anna Palony, Claire Flahaven and Shelby Hansen representing CSP Lacrosse, while Piper Hill, Rebecca DeLong and Darby Barstad were selected from CSP women's golf. 

For Senior Claire Flahaven this marks the third time she has earned CSC Academic All-District honors. While senior Anna Palony picks up her second All-District nod after receiving the honor last season. 

Senior Piper Hill earns her third CSC Academic All-District selection as well, becoming just the second CSP women's golfer to be named All-District three times. Darby Barstad was named to the All-District team for the second straight season and junior Rebecca DeLong earns her first career All-District selection. 

The 2025-26 Academic All-District® Women's At-Large teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in competition and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes women's at-large honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA. 

Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. 

Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists are denoted with an asterisk and will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced July 7, 2026. 

The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2025-26 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs. The NAIA CSC Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported through the NAIA governance structure.
