Tusculum College Women's golf student-athlete Jillian Corum has been named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-District III Women's At-Large Team for NCAA Division II, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Thursday.

Corum advances to the Academic All-America® ballot, which will be announced in early June. Women's at-large sports include bowling, crew, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis and water polo.

Corum competed in 24 rounds for the Pioneers this season and averaged 77.58 strokes per round to rank second on the team and second-best in program history. She had one tournament win and six top-10 finishes in 11 events, and shot 229 at the NCAA Division II South Regional to tie for the second-best 54-hole score in program history.

The Knoxville native was named first-team All-South Atlantic Conference and finished eighth at the SAC Championship to claim All-Tournament honors for a second straight year. Corum is a three-time team Most Valuable Player and has the best career stroke average in school history at 80.38.

Academically, the junior has a 3.63 cumulative grade-point average as a business administration major at Tusculum.

Members of the Capital One Academic All-District 3 Team are selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), which includes all colleges and universities in the South Atlantic Conference, Conference Carolinas and Peach Belt Conference.

This is the first year of the expanded Academic All-America® program as CoSIDA moves from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and doubles the number of scholar-athletes honored. The teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.

The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2011-12 DII and DIII Academic All-America® teams program.
