SEWARD, Neb. – Named a first team All-American and GPAC player of the year last season, Bailey Morris has received yet another accolade. The senior point guard has been placed on the 2014-15 Capital One Academic All-District® 3 Women’s Basketball College Division second team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday.

CoSIDA: “The Capital One Academic All-District® Women’s Basketball Teams have been released to recognize the nation’s top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.
