Four `Runners Earn Academic All-District Honors

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – The Academic All-District® Women's Volleyball Team, selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC), honors the nation's top student-athletes for their achievements both on the court and in the classroom. Cal State Bakersfield is proud to congratulate four Roadrunners on earning Academic All-District® recognition: Luiza Da Cruz, Boden Liljedahl, Suelen Lima, and Druegan Davis.

A senior from Hanford, Calif., Davis earned Academic All-District® for the second-straight season. As a key player for the CSUB women's volleyball team, she appeared all 30 matches, averaging 2.40 kills per set, third-most on the team. Majoring in Psychology, she also carries a 3.52 GPA.

Lima made an immediate impact in her first year for the `Runners, tallying 2.75 kills per set and 0.89 blocks per set, both second-best on the squad. A Physical Education major, Lima has earned a 3.63 cumulative GPA.

Liljedahl was a staple on the back line for the `Runners, splitting time as the starting libero as well as the defensive specialist. She averaged 1.88 digs per set and tallied 21 service aces on the season. The junior boasts a perfect 4.00 GPA as a biology major.

Da Cruz turned into Bakersfield's go-to option at the setter position this season, shining on the court with 6.13 assists and 2.48 digs per set. The native of Brazil is a kinesiology major and holds a 3.95 GPA.
