Purdue University Calumet women’s tennis senior Lori Haas was named to the 2015-16 CoSIDA Academic All-District 2 College Division Team, as announced by the organization Thursday.
Haas (Bismarck, Ill./Bismarck-Henning), who recently graduated with a 4.0 cumulative grade point average and a bachelor’s degree in history, earned her second-straight CoSIDA All-District honor, after earning the award in 2015. She now qualifies for a chance to earn her second-straight CoSIDA Academic All-American honor, which will be voted upon and then released June 6.
Haas led the Peregrines at No. 1 singles with a 9-2 mark, with her only two losses coming to CCAC title match teams, No. 5 Cardinal Stritch and No. 18 Olivet Nazarene. At No. 1 doubles, Haas finished 6-7 with teammates Ashley Pabey and Abby Kvachkoff, as she helped lead the program to it second straight CCAC postseason tournament victory in 2016.
Haas, who is a two-time recipient of the NAIA Scholar-Athlete award, finishes her career as the program's all-time wins leader in both singles (29) and doubles (20), with all of her 29 wins at singles coming in the No. 1 slot, where she was 29-11 (.725).
She was named the program's first-ever CCAC Player of the Week to cap the regular-season in 2016.
