CHICAGO --  DePaul senior outfielder Sandy Vojik was named first team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District as announced by CoSIDA.  As a first-team selection in district five, Vojik is now eligible to appear on the national Academic All-America ballot.

Vojik is on track to graduate with a degree in fitness and sport management and plans to enroll in graduate school to pursue a degree in physical therapy.  A ESPN.com preseason All-American, Vojik leads the team with 10 home runs, two triples and a .547 slugging percentage.  Earlier this year, Vojik was named DePaul's 2007-08 BIG EAST/Aropostale Institutional Female Scholar-Athlete.
