College Sports Communicators (CSC), Academic All-America is the longest running and premier award for
athletic and academic success across championship college sports at all
NCAA levels, the

Julia Carr (Portland, Ore. / SR) has put together one of the most impressive careers in Carroll Volleyball program history, and will now cap her stellar time as a Fighting Saint with one of the top honors in collegiate athletics, Academic All-American.
Over the past five seasons, the defensive specialist has been outstanding, totaling 3255 total digs (6.43 digs per set). Both marks are program records. Carr was a three-time Frontier All-Conference First Team selection, with second-team selection a year ago. She has been an Academic All-Conference selection four times, a nine-semester member of the Dean's list, and four-time NAIA Daktronics Scholar-Athlete.
Earlier this season, Carr finished her second-straight season leading the NAIA in digs per set (7.0), while also leading the nation in total digs (840). Her outstanding on-court performance garnered her Frontier Conference Defensive Player of the Year honors, Honorable Mention AVCA All-American, and a First Team All-Frontier selection.
Carr carries a 3.86 GPA in Computer Information Systems, and has continually been among the highest GPAs on the Volleyball in her time at Carroll.
Carr becomes only the second CSC Academic All-American selection in Carroll Volleyball program history, joining
