ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- Sonoma State University men's tennis senior Greg Eckstedt has been named to the 2012 Capital One Division II Academic All-District® At-Large Team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.  The All-Academic At-Large Teams released on Friday afternoon are to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom.

Eckstedt, from San Jose, Calif., was one of 10 Division II male student-athletes from District VIII to be named to the All-Academic At-Large Team.  He sports a 3.58 grade point average as a Communication Studies major.
