Six Named to Academic All-District® Women’s At-Large Teams

Six Hope College student-athletes have been selected to the 2025 Academic All-District® Women's At-Large teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, including four from women's lacrosse: Caroline Curnutt, Caleigh Randall, Alyssa Segura and Samantha Smith; and two from women's golf: Jaiden Winters and Allyson Zuidema.

The program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in competition and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes at-large honorees in four divisions: NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. Student-athletes selected as CSC Academic All-America® finalists will advance to the national ballot to be voted on by CSC members and announced later this summer.

Curnutt (Fishers, Indiana / Heritage Christian HS) is an elementary education major. The junior defender for the MIAA-champion Flying Dutch repeated as an All-MIAA First Team selection while ranking second on the team in both draw controls with 99 and caused turnovers with 22 in 19 games.
