Cohn & Ryckman Named to the CoSIDA Baseball Academic All-District Team

Two members of the Emory University baseball team were honored for their performance both in the classroom and on the field, as shortstop Andrew Cohn was named to the ESPN The Magazine/ CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team, and pitcher Matt Ryckman was named to the second team.

Cohn batted .304 during his sophomore season, earning a nod to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) second team for the second-consecutive season.  He scored 40 runs during the season, the second-most on the team, while driving in 24 and stealing 13 bases and playing in every game at shortstop for the Eagles.  Cohn has compiled a 3.842 cumulative grade point average as an Economics major at Emory.

By virtue of being named to the Academic All-District first team, Cohn will be placed on the ballot for the Academic All-America Team.

Ryckman had a record of 5-3 with a 4.46 earned run average in eight appearances for Emory during the season.  He struck out 17 batters in 38.1 innings pitched, and was part of one shutout during the campaign.

Voting for the Academic All-District team is conducted by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) in the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.  To be eligible, a nominee must have completed at least one year at their respective institution with a 3.3 cumulative grade point average and be a starter or key reserve on his team.  Emory nominees are placed in the "college division" category, which is composed of all NCAA Division II and III schools, along with NAIA programs.
