AMES, Iowa – Iowa State saw five athletes recognized as College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District honorees Tuesday morning, the organization announced, setting a program record.

Angelina Allen, McKenna Andrews, Regan Bartholomew, Sydney Malott and Lauren Schurman all earned the distinction, surpassing the previous school record of three (2023). All five recipients are receiving the distinction for the first time in their careers.

It marks the fourth straight season that the Cyclones have had multiple athletes recognized as CSC Academic All-District.

Allen capped her historic Cyclone career with another solid season in 2025 as she slashed .354/.445/.571. Allen was one of just three Cyclones to appear in and start all 54 games. She led the team in walks (28) and was one of just two Cyclones to post an OPS over 1.000. Allen leaves Iowa State with her name littered throughout the record book and most noticeably, she finished third in program history in hits (219).

Andrews was moved from middle infield to the hot corner as a junior, appearing in 48 contests and making 40 starts. Andrews came into her own at the plate, setting personal bests across the board. She bat .270 and picked up 18 RBI on 27 hits, smashing her first career homer against Samford (3/14).

Bartholomew played and started all 38 games she was available for, as a pair of separate injuries limited her availability during her first year in Ames. Despite missing 16 games due to injury, she finished two RBI off the team lead (34). After a pair of seasons in Oxford, Bartholomew collected seven doubles – more than her first two seasons combined.

Malott, like Allen, was one of three players to appear in and start all 54 games this season. In her first season in Ames after transferring in from Illinois, Malott cranked a team-high 11 homers, tied for the eighth most in a single season in school history. Malott played a pivotal role in Iowa State’s first ever road series win over a ranked opponent as she blasted four homers across the weekend series against No. 17 OSU.

Schurman became the team’s workhorse in her sophomore season, appearing in 48 of 54 games, making 19 starts. Prior to the NCAA Tournament, her 48 appearances led the country and tied the school record for most in a season by a pitcher. She led the team in strikeouts (65), innings pitched (137.2), saves (4), wins (14) and had the lowest ERA (3.46). Her four saves are tied for the second-most in a single season at ISU.

After the CSC committee parsed through the All-District honorees, it was decided that Angelina Allen will advance to the CSC Academic All-America ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be voted on and announced June 17.
