EASTON, Mass. (June 25, 2025) – Junior Makayla Strickulis and sophomore Julieta D'Antonio of the Stonehill College field hockey team have been named to the 2025 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® At-Large Team, as announced by the organization.

The CSC Academic All-District® At-Large program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined achievements in athletic competition and academic excellence. Honorees are selected across four divisions — NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA — with consideration for sports not sponsored by specific CSC Academic All-America® teams.

Strickulis earns Academic All-District® honors for the second consecutive year, following another standout season on the field and in the classroom. A finance major, she is tied for the second-highest cumulative GPA on the team with a 3.97. In addition to being named to both the NEC Commissioner's and Academic Honor Rolls and inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma Honor Society, she appeared in all 18 games for the Skyhawks, making 16 starts. She matched her career-high with four goals, while setting new personal bests in minutes played (806), shot attempts (34), and shots on goal (18).

D'Antonio also turned in a strong sophomore campaign while maintaining a 3.97 GPA as a chemistry major. A two-time selection to the NEC Commissioner's Honor Roll, she recorded career-highs in goals (2), assists (2), points (6), shot attempts (22), and shots on goal (10).

Stonehill concluded its 2024 season with a 7-11 overall record, including a 4-4 mark in NEC play, finishing sixth in the conference and just one game shy of a postseason berth. The Skyhawks continued to build momentum in their third NCAA Division I season, improving by two overall wins and three NEC victories compared to their inaugural 2022 campaign.

About College Sports Communicators
College Sports Communicators (CSC) was founded in 1957 and is a 3,200+ member national association for strategic, creative, and digital communicators across intercollegiate athletics in the United States and Canada. The current name of the organization was adopted following a member-wide vote on Aug. 31, 2022.

From its founding in 1957 until the 2022 name change, the organization was known as College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The name change signaled a significant step in a broader strategic plan to highlight the association's evolution and growth. The move better aligns with the association's membership makeup and further positions the organization to support and advocate for its members who serve in the communications, digital, and creative sports industry, regardless of position or title.

The organization, which celebrated its 65th anniversary during the 2021-22 academic year, is the second-oldest management association in all intercollegiate athletics. College Sports Communicators became an affiliated partner with NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) in December 2008.
