Champaign, Ill – Fighting Illini soccer Junior Hope D'Addario was named to the Academic All-District Second Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Wednesday, Oct. 29. D'Addario is majoring in health behavior change at Illinois and has started in all 18 games for the Orange and Blue this year. 

D'Addario has scored two goals this season, and her five assists rank second on the team. 

The Academic All-District teams have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. 

This is the fifth year of the expanded Academic All-America program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools. The Division II and III Academic All-America program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2015-16 DII and DIII Academic All-America teams program.
