GALESBURG, Ill. — The College Sports Communicators (CSC) announced their Academic All-District selections for women's basketball on Tuesday, and Knox College senior Brianna Arizmendi was among the honorees. The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes men's basketball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, Division II and Division III, as well as NAIA.

A political science major, Arizmendi started every one of the 25 Prairie Fire games this past winter, averaging 2.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, the latter of which ranked second on the team. The 5-8 guard from Tucson, Arizona, also had the second-most blocks (10) and steals (50) on the squad, and was third with 45 assists. Those 50 assists also ranked fourth in the Midwest Conference.

Arizmendi has been named to the Academic All-Midwest Conference Winter Team in each of her first three years on the women's basketball team, as well as the Spring Team while a member of the Knox softball team, and is expected to receive the honor again when the teams are announced at the end of the school year.

To be eligible for inclusion on the Academic All-District Team, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.5 and have either played in 90 percent of the team's games or started two-thirds of the games.
