GREENWOOD, Ind. - The 2026 Academic All-District® Women's At-Large teams were released on Tuesday, June 16, selected by College Sports Communicators, and recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances in the classroom and on the golf course. The Marian women's golf team earned three of the Knights' six CSC At-Large Team honors this year, as
Keara Eder,
Jordan Adam, and
Maria Kennard earned the distinction.
Eligible nominees for the CSC Academic All-America program must maintain a 3.50 cumulative grade-point average while having reached sophomore status academically, while golf nominees must be in the lineup for 75 percent of an institution's team scoring events or
be in the lineup at the conference championship tournament.
Each school is allowed up to six nominations for men's at-large and six for women's at-large, with selected CSC Academic All-District recipients advancing to the ballot for CSC Academic All-America honors. In addition to golf, competitive cheer, competitive dance, bowling, lacrosse, beach volleyball, and wrestling are NAIA women's sports that can be awarded with Academic All-District honors.
The Knights' trio of
Keara Eder,
Jordan Adam, and
Maria Kennard were mainstays in the lineup throughout the season, with Eder playing every round of her senior season for Marian. Adam played in 10 of the 11 tournaments, and Kennard was in the lineup for 30 of 31 rounds as a sophomore. This is the second time in Eder's career that she has made the CSC Academic All-District Team, while Adam and Kennard earn the honor in their first year of eligibility for the award.
All three of Marian's golfers were All-Crossroads League Team winners this season, and each was NAIA Second Team All-Americans.
Marian was one of six Crossroads League schools to have a student-athlete earn CSC Academic All-District honors, with Marian, Taylor, and Indiana Wesleyan the only three that had six nominations. Mount Vernon Nazarene and Grace each had four, while Goshen had two. The three Marian golfers were among 14 total CL golfers to earn At-Large Academic All-District.
The three golfers for Marian join Taleah Nool, Ella Grace Giedd, and Olivia Dean from the women's lacrosse program as Marian's six At-Large honors.
