PEORIA, Ill. -- For the first time in two decades and third time overall Bradley Volleyball has a two-time First-Team Academic All-District V honoree with Hannah Thompson (Pekin, Ill./Pekin) earning the distinction for a second consecutive year, according to an announcement by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Thursday.
Thompson, who was a CoSIDA First-Team Academic All-District V choice last year as a sophomore, is the first Brave to earn Academic All-District V honors twice since Laura Benzing and Samantha Hardwick were both honored in 2000 and again in 2001.
Overall, Thompson's award marks the 13th time a Brave has earned first or second-team Academic All-District V recognition and this year's honor marks the seventh first-team selection for an individual from Bradley Volleyball.
