Women's Swimming Places Four on CSC Academic All-District Team

LORETTO, Pa. – Women's swimming's Anna Bernasconi, Aurem Pifarre, Sara Turner and Laryssa Webster have been named to the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team, the association announced Tuesday.

College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.

To be eligible to earn a CSC Academic All-District selection, a student-athlete must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically, own a grade point average above 3.50 and must compete in a minimum of five meets.

Bernasconi is earning her Doctorate of Physical Therapy with a 3.963 grade point average. This is the second year that the Albany, N.Y. native has been named to the Academic All-District Team. In this year's Northeast Conference Championships, Bernasconi was a member of the fourth-place 200-yard medley relay, clocking in at 1:44.46 and earning the tenth fastest time in program history.

Pifarre, a senior, is studying Computer Science with a 3.903 GPA. She made the podium multiple times in this year's conference meet, including a win in the 1650-yard freestyle at 17:08.09, the third fastest at Saint Francis. The Balaguer, Spain native also earned second in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:58.20 and third in the 200-yard freestyle at 1:52.32. Pifarre was also named to the CSC Academic All-District Team last year.

An Enola, Pa. native, Turner is studying Physical Therapy with a 3.935 GPA in her junior year. In addition to earning selection to the 2023-24 Academic All-District Team, she took home multiple medals at NEC Championships in February. Turner placed second in the 400-yard individual medley at 4:23.90 and third in the 200-yard individual medley at 2:05.32 and the 200-yard butterfly at 2:04.52. She was also part of a third-place 800-yard freestyle relay with a time of 7:32.28.

Webster is receiving her first CSC Academic All-District Team selection, majoring in Accounting with a 4.000 GPA. The junior competed in multiple A-Finals at NECs, including fourth and third place finishes in the 200-yard medley relay at 1:44.46 and the 400-yard medley relay at 3:47.36. Individually, she placed sixth in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 57.17 and seventh in the 200-yard butterfly at 2:07.56.

Academic All-District honorees will be evaluated by a CSC subcommittee to determine their candidacy for the Academic All-America ballot. All-America honorees will be announced later this month.
