MOREHEAD, Ky. -- Women's basketball sophomore point guard
Kate Novik has been honored with an Academic All-District accolade for the 2024-25 season, as awarded by the College Sports Communicators organization.
The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) began the distinguished Academic All-America® program in 1952, and since then, has honored thousands of deserving student-athletes from numerous sports across all divisions with these elite Academic All-America® scholar-athlete honors. In 2022, CoSIDA re-branded itself as the College Sports Communicators.
Currently, CSC sponsors Academic All-America® programs for men's soccer, women's soccer, football, tennis, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, softball, swimming and diving and men's and women's track and field/cross country. Many other sports are eligible through the At-Large program. In 2022, the guidelines were updated to include more representation on the All-District teams. Sports have limitations to the number of athletes that can be nominated and the minimum grade-point average was raised to 3.50.
Novik, who just completed her second season with the Eagles, has earned a 3.75 lifetime college grade-point average in business.
Novik, a native of Grodno, Belarus, led Morehead State in points (13.5/game), rebounds (6.0/game), assists (117 total) and steals (59) in 24 games played. She finished at 43 percent field goal accuracy for the season and hit 80 percent of her free throws. She scored in double figures 19 times and scored 20+ three times.
She is just the fourth-ever Eagle women's basketball student-athlete to be named Academic All-District.
