Five Broncs Named to CSC Softball Academic All-District Team

Cruz, Dyer, Gardner, Groskritz and Stoeckel honored

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Rider University softball student-athletes Abby Cruz (Corona, CA/Santiago), Shelby Dyer (Clarksboro, NJ/Kingsway Regional), Kristyn Gardner (Perrysville, MD/Perrysville), Anna-Marie Groskritz (Granby, CT/Granby Memorial) and Fallyn Stoeckel (Nutley, NJ/Nutley) have been honored with College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) Academic All-District, the organization today announced.

All honorees possess a grade-point average of 3.50 or higher and reach sophomore status academically and athletically. Eligible nominees must compete in 90 percent of the institution's games played OR must start in at least 66 percent of the institution's games. For pitchers, a student-athlete must have made at least 17 appearances OR pitched 35 innings. If more than five student-athletes from an institution are eligible, the five nominees determined to have the best combination of academic and athletic achievement are selected.

Gardner is now a three-time honoree, while Groskritz and Stoeckel earned the honor for the second-consecutive years. Cruz and Dyer earned the recognition in their first seasons of eligibility.

The 2025 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.
