Allie Jones was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 4 First Team
MACON, Ga. – Mercer softball junior Allie Jones was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Four First Team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday.
Jones owns a perfect 4.0 grade-point average while double-majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The Calhoun, Ga., native is the first Mercer softball player to earn academic all-district honors since 2016 when Natalie Shiver earned her second consecutive CoSIDA Academic All-America honor.
"Allie is a dedicated student-athlete," remarked head coach Stephanie DeFeo. "She has excelled not only on the field but also in the classroom. She is the epitome of who you would want as a student-athlete in any program. We are so proud of Allie and her accomplishments."
She was one of four players from the Southern Conference to be recognized, along with Chattanooga's Celie Hudson and Morgan Kazerooni, as well as Western Carolina's Erica Hayes. Additionally, Jones was joined by Kennesaw State's Brea Dickey as the only players from the state of Georgia to land on the academic all-district team.
Jones boasts a career .309 batting average with 109 hits, including 22 doubles, five triples and a home run. She has scored 63 runs while driving in 59. Jones has started each of Mercer's 83 games over the past two seasons.
Prior to the 2020 season being cut short due to COVID-19, Jones led the nation in most stolen bases without being caught with 18. She was hitting an astounding .357 (30-for-84) on the season with six doubles, three triples, 16 runs scored and 19 RBI.
Honorees selected first-team Academic All-District® will advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. Academic All-America® honorees will be announced from June 8-11.
