The CSC Academic All-District Team recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. Eligibility for the honor requires student-athletes to be at least a sophomore and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher. Graduate students must have a 3.50 GPA or higher in both their undergraduate and graduate studies. Athletically, student-athletes must have competed in 90% of their team's games or started 66% of their team's games during the current season. Schools can submit up to four nominations in the sport of basketball.

Arcuri is a senior elementary education major with a 3.90 GPA. The Fallsington, Pa., native played in all 34 games and started one for the PSAC champion Golden Bears. Arcuri scored 46 points, grabbed 33 rebounds and totaled 33 assists while averaging 12.0 minutes per contest.

Hearn stepped up when KU needed her most, earning PSAC Championship MVP honors after back-to-back 30+ point games in a semifinal victory over nationally ranked Gannon and championship game victory over host Edinboro. The graduate student from Lewes, Del., finished the season averaging 10.7 points and 6.0 rebounds per game while appearing in 33-of-34 overall (12 starts).

Hurley, a junior from Jim Thorpe, Pa., took another step forward on her way to All-PSAC East Second Team honors. The guard averaged a career-best 10.7 points and 2.4 rebounds per game in 31 appearances (29 starts). She knocked down a career-high 69 3-pointers, which ranks eighth in a single-season in program history. Hurley is majoring in elementary education and has a 3.85 GPA.
