Murfreesboro – Francisco Rocha of Middle Tennessee men's tennis and Nick Wolf of Blue Raider men's golf have been named to the CoSIDA Academic At-Large All-District team for District 3. Rocha earned his spot on the team with a 4.0 GPA in Business Administration, while Wolf garnered his spot on the strength of a 3.95 GPA in his MBA studies.

Rocha led the Blue Raiders to their third consecutive Conference USA title and the top seed in the NCAA Raleigh Regional. The No. 100 ranked player in the May 4 ITA national rankings, Rocha posted a 19-4 singles record and a 15-8 mark in doubles. Rocha and Oskar Brostrom Poulsen – currently ranked No. 70 nationally as a doubles pair – will be competing in the doubles bracket of the NCAA Individual Championships May 23-28.

Wolf finished his collegiate career with a trip to the NCAA Norman Regional as an individual, earning a bid with a national rating of No. 139. He finished in the top 20 individually in each of the Blue Raiders' final six tournaments and ended the year with nine top-25 finishes in 11 tournaments overall. His season scoring average of 71.94 was 0.21 strokes over par, the sixth-best single season average relative to par in program history.

The At-Large category consists of all sports outside of football, soccer, women's volleyball, basketball, softball, baseball, track and field and cross country. District 3 includes all schools located in Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina.

Both Wolf and Rocha will be eligible for Academic All-America consideration.
