Three Members of Stan State Softball Named to the CSC Academic All-District Team
TURLOCK, Calif.--- As announced this afternoon, three members of the Stan State softball team were named to 2025 Academic All-District Softball Teams as selected by the College Sports Communicators (CSC). These three Warrior student-athletes are McKenna Beach, Karli DalBianco, and Sasha Martello.
The 2024-25 Academic All-District® Softball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
McKenna Beach started in all 47 games for the Warriors and finished the season with a team-leading six home runs. Beach posted an .856 slugging percentage, driving in 20 of the team's runs. In five games, she drove in two or more runs including two games with three RBIs. Primarily playing first base, McKenna Beach recorded 277 putouts over the season with a season-high of 13 in four different games and a .977 fielding percentage. This is Beach's second season in a row she has been named to the CSC Academic All-District Team.
Karli DalBianco was one of the most consistent hitters for the Warriors this season, finishing the season with a .329 batting average and was considered one of the CCAA's toughest batters to strikeout for several weeks, which uses the ratio of strikeouts to at bats. DalBianco was also in the top five in the conference for a few weeks in sacrifice bunts. With three home runs, DalBianco hit the second-most on the team and hit her first grand slam of her career, batting in a total of five runs in one game. This is her third-straight season being named to the CSC Academic All-District Team while also being named to the CCAA All-Academic Team and earning D2ADA Academic Achievement honors last year.
Sasha Martello allowed only 10 walks and one home run over 70.1 innings pitched, including as a starter and a reliever. As a batter, she had one home run and only stuck out twice over 73 at bats. Martello finished the season 12th in NCAA Division II for walks per seven innings. This is Martello's third season in a row that she has been named to the CSC Academic All-District Team. She has previously been named to the CCAA All-Academic Team and earned D2ADA Academic Achievement honors.
Academic All-District® honorees were considered for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. Student-athletes selected as women's CSC Academic All-America® finalists will be announced on June 3, 2025.
