ST. JOSEPH, Minn. -- The College of Saint Benedict tennis team continued its strong tradition of success in the classroom as four student-athletes — Ella Marohl (St. Cloud, Minn.), Allyson Yahn (Pequot Lakes, Minn.), Lila Collins (Brainerd, Minn.) and Marie Labenski (Northfield, Minn.) — were named to the 2025-26 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team.

 

The honor recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their accomplishments both academically and athletically. The CSC Academic All-America program selects honorees across NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA competition, with Academic All-America teams scheduled to be announced June 2.

The four selections mark just the third time in program history that Saint Benedict has placed four players on the Academic All-District team in the same season, matching the accomplishment achieved during both the 2023-24 and 2022-23 campaign.

With this year's group, the Bennies now have 18 all-time Academic All-District selections, including 15 over the past three seasons.

Marohl, a junior nursing major, earned the honor for the second time in her career. Playing primarily at No. 2 singles, she recorded four singles victories and added six doubles wins during the 2025-26 season. She has also been recognized as an ITA Scholar-Athlete from 2023-25 and earned Academic All-MIAC honors this season.

Yahn, a sophomore majoring in nutrition, exercise and health science, finished the year with six singles wins and six doubles victories.

Collins, a senior English major, posted a team-best seven singles victories while competing at No. 4 singles. She also contributed six doubles wins at the No. 3 position.

Labenski, a junior biology major, totaled five wins in No. 5 singles play and added five victories at No. 1 doubles. She previously earned Academic All-MIAC honors during the 2024-25 season.
