INDIANAPOLIS – UIndy softball student-athlete Hallie Waters was named to the 2021 Academic All-District® 4 First Team, announced Thursday. Selected by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), the program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.

One of the most-decorated players in program history, Waters personified the term student-athlete in her four years in the Crimson & Grey. The Boonville, Ind., native was named All-America Third Team and Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year this past spring before graduating with 3.99 cumulative GPA as a Biology and Psychology major. She will continue her education at Indiana University School of Medicine this fall.

Waters is a two-time GLVC Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and recently garnered the prestigious GLVC Paragon Award. She is now eligible for Academic All-America® consideration, with those award winners being announced later this month. Waters is looking to become the first three-time Academic All-American in UIndy softball history.
