The UNLV Rebels softball team has had three student-athletes named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team. The CSC announced the new members of the team on Tuesday. The players named were senior Sofia Morales, junior Amelia Weber, and sophomore Jesse Farrell. Their contributions and accomplishments both on the field and in the classroom have earned them this honor. All three Academic All-District honorees will now advance to the Academic All-America ballot. The first, second, and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced on June 17. 

According to the UNLV Rebels' official Website:

"To be nominated, a student-athlete must have a 3.5 minimum grade point average, have participated in at least 90 percent of the season's events or must start in at least 66 percent of the season's events and have at least a sophomore standing both academically and athletically.
