ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The College Sports Communicators (CSC), formerly College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), announced the 2022 Academic All-District Team for Volleyball with two from St. Catherine on the prestigious list. Junior Maggie Rosen and senior Lauren Skar are the first-ever from the program to earn the honor and are among 28 others from the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) selected for 2022. 

The Academic All-District Team recognizes the nation's top student‐athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All‐America® program separately recognizes volleyball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

A exercise and sport science major, Rosen, put together her best season on record with a team-best 262 kills and 36 blocks averaging a hitting percentage .258 ranking tenth in the conference this season. Rosen is the first Wildcat since Shanee Herd in 2015 and 2016 to earn back to back All-Conference honors. She is also just the fourth in program history to be recognized for the honor at least twice in the career. Off the court, Rosen is a four-time Dean's List honoree and has been named to the MIAC Academic All-Conference team once.
