SFU's Travis Fox Named To ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II
First Team

Saint Francis University senior outside hitter Travis Fox (Meadville, Pa. /Cochranton) has been named an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II At-Large First Team honoree, as voted on by members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). An Accounting major with a 3.88 grade point average, Fox garners his second career ESPN The Magazine academic award after being named to the second team in 2006.

As a first team all-district honoree, he advances to the national ballot and will have the opportunity to earn ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America honors.

Saint Francis University has 28 all-time CoSIDA Academic All-Americans.

Fox played four seasons for the Red Flash men's volleyball team, helping them reach the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association's championship match the past
two years. He was a two-time EIVA All-Academic Team selection, and is
second on the school's all-time digs list (476). He also finished his
career sixth on the school's kills list (562). Fox had a career-best
season in 2007 while establishing career highs in kills, hitting
percentage and blocks. Fox helped lead the Red Flash to a 16-12 overall
record in 2007, which included the school's first-ever appearance in
the CSTV/AVCA Top-15 Coaches Poll.

Fox is the fourth Saint Francis student-athlete to garner ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District II honors for this past academic year. Senior Luke Palko (Imperial, Pa. /West Allegheny - football) and junior Lauren Popovich (Rochester, N.Y. / Aquinas Institute - women's soccer) were both named to the first team, while senior Anne Roosevelt (Plymouth, Mich. / Mercy - women's
volleyball) was named to the second team. The Academic All-District and All-America teams are selected through voting by CoSIDA, a 2,000 member organization consisting of sports public relations professionals for college universities in the United States and Canada. To be eligible, a
student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the
program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA covering all NCAA Championship sports.
