University of Illinois Springfield men's basketball player Chase Robinson was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District team this morning. Robinson was one of five players selected from the NCAA Division II Midwest Region.
 
Robinson, a sophomore, was UIS's leading scorer this season with 17.4 points a game, the eighth-highest single-season scoring average in program history. He also averaged 5.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists a game, and recorded 32 steals and six blocks. He shot over 80 percent from the free-throw line, and tied for the team-high with 40 three-pointers.
 
Robinson ranked eighth in the GLVC in scoring and steals, and played the third-most minutes in the GLVC. He ranked in the top-50 among NCAA Division II players in made free throws.
 
The Academic All-District teams recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. Robinson and the other honorees advance to the ballot for Academic All-American honors, which will be announced later this month.
