GREENWOOD, Ind. – The 2018-19 Google Cloud Academic All-District® Women's Basketball Team was announced on Thursday, with Lady Bulldog standout senior Hailey Tucker receiving a selection to the team for the third straight season.
 
The Google Cloud Academic All-America® team is selected by CoSIDA and recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. The Google Cloud Academic All-America® program separately recognizes basketball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
 
Tucker, who last season became the first Academic All-American in SWOSU Women's Basketball's NCAA Division II era, is the lone repeat selection on the Academic All-District Team for District 7, which includes players from the Great American Conference, MIAA and Northern Sun. A native of Bartlesville, Tucker has maintained a 3.90 grade point average while majoring in Communications at SWOSU. She is a two-time GAC Player of the Year and the second-leading active scorer in NCAA Division II with better than 2,100 career points to her credit. This season, she is averaging 18.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while leading the Lady Bulldogs with 34 blocked shots and ranking fourth with 42 steals.
 
The Academic All-District® Teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. The Division II and III Google Cloud Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2018-19 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs.
 
After becoming the Lady Bulldogs first Academic All-District since 2003-04, Tucker has now been selected to the team in three straight seasons and she's a reigning Second Team Academic All-American. As a First-Team Academic All-District® honoree, she again advances to the Google Cloud Academic All-America® ballot, where first-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in mid-March.
 
SWOSU Women's Basketball, currently ranked #12 in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) poll and #7 in the D2SIDA Media Poll, returns to action tonight, hosting Henderson State at 5:30 pm inside the Pioneer Cellular Event Center in Weatherford.
