Coral Gables, Fla. – University of Miami All-America outside hitter Lane Carico has been named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District (District Four) Volleyball Team for 2011-12 announced Thursday afternoon. This is the first Co-SIDA All-District Award for Carico.
Carico, a senior from Manhattan Beach, Calif., was one of six student-athletes named to the District Four Team, joining players from Florida, Troy, Georgia State, Jacksonville State and UCF. Carico is currently majoring in Exercise Physiology at UMiami and holds a GPA of 3.57.
