East Lansing, Mich. -- Michigan State volleyball player Lauren Swartz (Pittsburgh, Pa.) has been named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) All-District team, as announced on Thursday, June 10.Â

Swartz, who graduated from Michigan State with an undergrad degree in economics and a master's in marketing research, completed both degrees with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. She is one of six Spartans to twice earn All-District honors and looks to become MSU's third two-time CoSIDA Academic All-America. Both Dana Cooke (1995, 1996) and Samantha McLean (2018, 2019) accomplished the feat, earning third-team honors as a junior and first team as a senior.Â
