Five Drury softball players were announced as part of the 2026 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District team on Tuesday, May 26.
Kaley Adzick earned her first Academic All-District honor after posting a strong 2026 campaign that netted the senior a Second-Team All-GLVC selection. The Ballwin product finished her collegiate career with two all-conference citations, while topping the 100-career hit milestone. She also logged more than 300 innings pitched, 200 strikeouts and 30 pitching victories in her career. In her three years with Drury, Adzick held a 2.75 ERA — the sixth-best in program history — along with 22 wins and 180 strikeouts, ranking seventh and eighth all-time, respectively. Her 2.00 ERA this season ranks as the fifth-best single-season mark in program history.
Sophomore shortstop Reece Anderson was also as selected to her first CSC Academic All-District team. The Willard native reset the program record for single-season assists with 170, surpassing her mark from last season (160). Entering postseason play, Anderson led the nation in assists.
Senior third baseman Gabrielle Bax picked up Academic All-District recognition for the first time as a Panther. The Jefferson City product posted 142 assists this season, the 10th most in the nation. Bax finished her Drury career with 229 assists, the seventh-best total in program history. This season, Bax clinched the Panthers' berth in the GLVC Tournament with a walk-off single against Southwest Baptist.
Junior outfielder Landry Cochrane was named to a CSC Academic All-District team for the second time in her career. The Carthage native recorded six triples this season, the second-most in Drury single-season history. She will enter her senior year with eight career triples, which ranks as the No. 4 total in program history. Cochrane was named an NFCA Top Performer of the Week on two occasions this season.
Third-Team All-GLVC pitcher Jordyn Foley was named a CSC Academic All-District honoree for the first time after posting 15 wins in the circle for Drury this spring. That total represents the fifth-best in DU history. Foley also eclipsed the 100-career strikeout mark this season. The Ozark native threw the program's seventh no-hitter with an 11-strikeout performance against Quincy.
The 2026 CSC Academic All-District Softball teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.
To be eligible for this honor, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher and achieve success on the field throughout the season. Student-athletes must also be at least a sophomore academically and athletically.
Drury posted a 27-29 record this season, ending in the GLVC Tournament as one of the final four teams standing for the second consecutive season.
