VERMILLION, S.D.—South Dakota senior Allie Daly was voted to the Capital One Academic All-District 6 softball team as selected by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). She is one of two Summit League players to be named to an All-District team.
 
A native of Sioux Falls, S.D., Daly maintains a 3.68 grade point average while working towards a degree in psychology with post-graduate plans to pursue physical therapy.
 
Daly enters the Summit League Tournament batting .398 with 13 home runs. She's recorded 57 RBIs to lead the league this season and rank 30^th nationally. She ranks fourth in home runs and slugging percentage, and has the seventh-best average due in part to her current 17-game hitting streak. Daly's 41 career home runs are the second-most in Summit League history.
 
The lone catcher on the all-league first team, Daly also leads the Summit League on defense. She has thrown out 19 runners this season.
 
Daly is the first Coyote to be named to a CoSIDA Academic All-District team since South Dakota alumna and former assistant coach Tagney Jones in 2009. Jones was also named an Academic All-American that year.
 
As a first-team selection, Daly advances to the national ballot to be considered for Academic All-America honors later this month.
