ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The 2026 Academic All-District® Softball teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom with five from the St. Catherine University softball team on the prestigious list. Senior Helen McKinnon returns to the list for the third consecutive season while junior Mayci Larson, and sophomores, Faith Bonse, Alexa Carlstrom and Grace Swigart are first time recipients for softball. 

The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2025-26 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs.
