Mary-Kate Marshall Named Academic All-District

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State junior outside hitter Mary-Kate Marshall has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District 8 First Team, the organization announced on Thursday.

Marshall, a kinesiology major, is now eligible to be named an Academic All-American, with voting for the honor starting next week.

The distinction is the second academically during Marshall's career, but the first on a national level. She was named an All-Pac-12 Academic Honorable Mention selection in 2015.

Marshall joins Tayla Woods (2013) as recent Oregon State players to be named Academic All-District. Gina Schmidt was named an Academic All-American in 2000 and 2001.

Marshall, a Coppell, Texas native, ranks second in the Pac-12 Conference with 4.61 points per set. She's also third in kills per set at 4.07.

A junior, she's already seventh in Oregon State history with 1,273 kills, and is within striking distance of sixth as the Beavers take on Washington State and Washington this weekend. Marshall ranks 36^th in kills amongst active players nationally, and is fourth when considering only juniors.

Oregon State heads to the state of Washington next weekend for a pair of matches against the Huskies and Cougars. The Beavers open at Washington State Friday night at 7 p.m., followed by a Sunday match at Washington that starts at 3 p.m.
