Duffner Named to CoSIDA Academic All-District Team
5/17/2019 10:55:00 AM | Softball
BOCA RATON, Fla. – Florida Atlantic University softball player Jolie Duffner has received a spot on the 2019 Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-District IV First Team. Duffner becomes the first FAU softball player since Blair Bodenmiller, who was a three-time selection from 2008-2010, to receive CoSIDA All-Academic marks.
Â
As a first-team district honoree, Duffner advances to the Google Cloud Academic All-America ballot with first-, second- and third-team honorees being announced on June 6. Bodenmiller is the Owls' only Academic All-America selection, as a second-team choice in 2010.
Â
A health science major with the aspiration of going to medical school, Duffner was recently recognized to C-USA Softball All-Academic Team. Duffner is a recipient of the C-USA Commissioner's Academic medal and a member of the C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll. The Jefferson City, Missouri native is a two-time Dean's List honoree and received a 4.0 with President's List honors her first season on the team in 2018 as a sophomore transfer. Even with a challenging course load and busy schedule, Duffner maintains a cumulative 3.989 GPA.
Â
Duffner also greatly excels on the field as the Owls' everyday third baseman. The redshirt junior started in each of the Owls' 50 games this season with a .259 batting average, 14 RBI, 11 runs scored and two doubles and triples a piece. Duffner finished the season 10th in the league in assists with 95.
Â
The Owls will be back in 2020 to celebrate the 26th season of the program under direction of head coach Joan Joyce. FAU will be returning five starters, including Duffner.
