Bailey Lotz has been named to the WCC's All-Academic Team for superb work while pursuing a degree in Kinesiology.
SAN BRUNO, Calif. — Saint Mary's senior first baseman Bailey Lotz was named to the West Coast Conference All-Academic Team as announced today by the conference office. It is the second consecutive season Lotz has been named an All-Academic and she also earned Honorable Mention status as a sophomore.
To be considered for the All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average while also being a significant contributor to her team. The Gaels' senior was one of 11 student-athletes named to the team by the WCC.
Lotz currently owns a 3.37 GPA while pursuing a degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Health and Human Performance. On the field, she has the second best batting average on the team at .257, co-leads the team with five doubles, and is tied for second with 12 RBIs. Lotz has appeared in all 48 games for the Gaels this season at first base and has made only two errors in the field.
Saint Mary's other two seniors, Dylan Linton and Abbey Mariani, also received honorable mentions for their hard work in the classroom. Linton is studying Business Administration while Mariani is studying Kinesiology with an emphasis in Sport and Recreation Management.
The trio of seniors will be playing their final series for the Gaels this week as SMC hosts San Diego to close out their 2019 season. Prior to Saturday's 11 a.m. game, Saint Mary's will recognize the three graduating seniors as a part of Senior Day. More information and links to the game can be found on the team's schedule page.
