Award recognizes student-athletes for combined athletic and academic successes

LAFAYETTE – Five members of the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball team have been named to the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® Softball Team, the organization announced on Tuesday (May 27, 2025).
 
The group representing Louisiana and receiving CSC Academic All-District® honors for the 2024-25 academic year includes: Kayla Falterman, Maddie Hayden, Mia Liscano, Sam Ryan and Cecilia Vasquez.
 
The Ragin' Cajuns placed the maximum allowable of five student-athletes on the all-district squad.
 
The Academic All-District® distinction from CSC marks the third consecutive year being honored for Hayden and the second consecutive season being recognized for Vasquez. It's the first in the collegiate careers for Falterman, Liscano and Ryan.
 
To be selected to the CSC Academic All-District® Softball Team, a student-athlete must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.50 and must have played in a minimum of 90 percent of a team's games or started 66 percent of the games to be eligible, with pitchers requiring 17 appearances or 25 innings pitched.
 
The 2024-25 Academic All-District® Softball Team, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the diamond and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
 
In addition to maintaining the 3.5 cumulative GPA in their respective academic major, Hayden (kinesiology) recorded a career-best .376 average and led the team with 67 base hits, Falterman (general studies) batted above .400 nearly the entire season en route to a team-leading .388 season average, Liscano (nursing) and Vasquez (kinesiology) both tallied 100-plus assists and keyed the team's 35 double plays turned from the middle infield, and Ryan (general studies) contributed six wins from the circle while posting a pitching staff-best 2.93 ERA over 76-1/3 innings pitched.
 
Falterman, Hayden and Ryan each received their bachelor's degree from the University at the Spring 2025 commencement earlier this month.
