UConn senior guard Kia Nurse earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors for the third straight season.

Nurse, recently honored for attaining a 4.0 grade-point average in one of the two most recently completed semesters, is third on the Huskies in scoring with an average of 14.7 points per game. She is one of three Division I women's players who is averaging at least one made 3-pointer and two free throws per game while shooting at least 50 percent from the field, 45 percent from 3-point range and 80 percent from the foul line.

Nurse, who has a 3.55 GPA in her time at UConn, earned third team Academic All-American recognition as a junior. Leigh Curl, Rebecca Lobo, Jen Rizzotti and Maya Moore are the only UConn players to be first team Academic All-Americans something that Nurse is eligible for.

Quinnipiac senior guard Carly Fabbri, who carries a 3.89 GPA, joined Nurse among the eight players selected to the District I team which includes all of New England and New York.

Nurse is one of three Canadian players among the three District I honorees joining Albany's Mackenzie Trpcic and Erika Steeves of Brown. University of New Haven junior guard Alexandria Kerr was named to the Division II District 1 team.
