Austin, Texas - On Wednesday, July 9, the College Sports Communicators (CSC) released their 2024-25 At-Large Team Academic All-America Team selections. Marian bowling collected their first and second-ever Academic All-Americans, with Dylan Mollo and David Hayes representing the Knights on the 2024-25 At-Large Team.

Dylan Mollo represents Marian as the university's first-ever At-Large Academic All-America First Team honoree, while David Hayes was one of two Knights named to the Second Team At-Large Team, joining men's golfer Weston Ogden. 

Hayes and Mollo were both named NAIA All-America Third Team members in 2024-25 in addition to being named First Team All-Crossroads League, with both playing a critical role in the Knights' 2025 NAIA National Championship.
