SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. – Five members of the Skidmore College softball team were honored on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Team. Mallory Allen, Madison Bonham, Sophia Finch, Rachel Monser, and Sam Waters were the Skidmore representatives.
 
The 2026 Academic All-District® Softball teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
 
Softball student-athletes must be at least sophomores in academic standing with a 3.50 minimum cumulative GPA in order to be eligible. Also, honorees must have played in 90 percent, or started in 66 percent, of team games. Each program is permitted up to five nominations.

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.
