SPOKANE, Wash. â€" Sophomore Domantas Sabonis was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America on Thursday.

The CoSIDA Academic All-District teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances both athletically and in the classroom.
