2025-26 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District At-Large Teams

MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Women's At-Large Teams were released on Tuesday, and junior golfer Michelle Hess (Aurora, Ill./Metea Valley) earned All-District recognition. This marks her first Academic All-District At-Large Team honors.

The Academic All-District At-Large teams recognize NCAA sports that do not currently have a designated program in the Academic All-America catalog. To be eligible for the ballot as a golf student-athlete, undergraduate students must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, carry at least a 3.50 grade point average, and appear in the lineup for 75% of the institution's team scoring events or be present in the lineup at the conference championship tournament.

Hess appeared in all five matches in the fall and competed in the team's lone match of the spring for eight total rounds of action. She posted the team's second-best average and matched the team's season-best round with her second-round performance at the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Women's Golf Championship, shooting a 116 (+45). In total, she posted three of the four best 18-hole scores with two scores of 119 at the NACC Championship in round one and round three.

The golf team finished in ninth place in the 2025 NACC Women's Golf Championship, led by Hess, who finished in 47^th place.
