Greensboro, NC (3/23/01) -- Guilford College junior Jenny Akman (Washington, DC/Georgetown Day) earned a spot on the Verizon Academic All-District III College Division Women’s At-Large Team for the second consecutive year.  The team is selected annually by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

The district team is composed of athletes competing in cross country, fencing, field hockey, gymnastics, rifle, skiing, soccer, and swimming from Division II and III institutions in the five-state area from Virginia to Florida.  Nominees were starters or important reserves of sophomore academic standing or above who maintained at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average. Those selected to the first team in their district advance to the national team ballot. The Academic All-America team will be announced Thursday, April 19.

Akman, a goalkeeper, majors in chemistry with a minor in physics and maintains a 3.8 grade point average. She was named second team All-ODAC in 2000 to go along with twice being named to the honorable mention team.  She is Guilford’s only All-ODAC goalkeeper.  On October 24 in an ODAC quarterfinal game against Lynchburg College Akman recorded a season-high 20 saves taking her career total to 666. Her career mark of 666 saves and her season total of 318 saves, set during the 1999 season, are both Guilford records.  Akman will graduate in May as a four-year letter winner with 13 shutouts in 5345 career minutes in goal for Guilford.
