SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco senior Rebecca Kopilovitch has been tapped as an Academic All-District VIII performer in the classroom, announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Selected to the first team, Kopilovitch is one of three West Coast Conference student-athletes honored, alongside players from USC, UNLV, Oregon State and Fresno State. District VIII is made up of the geographical region that includes Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Canada.
Kopilovitch maintains a 3.94 grade-point average in her studies in finance. Along with her stellar academic standing, the native of Israel is a high-level performer on the court. In her final season in Green and Gold, she leads the Dons with 338 digs, or 3.98 per set. Last season, Kopilovitch was recognized as the WCC's Co-Defensive Player of the Year.
"This a great testament for Becky's hard work on and off the court and her commitment for excellence in everything she does," said head coach Gilad Doron. "She knows how to set her goals and make the sacrifice needed to reach them. She has been an inspiration on the court and model student and citizen of the University of San Francisco, and of course our volleyball program. I am so proud and happy for her and I am certain she will continue her success beyond her years as a Don."
The 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District® Women's Volleyball Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
