Taylor Golf Programs Earn CSC Academic All-District Honors
UPLAND, Ind. – The Taylor men's and women's golf teams combined to claim four academic honors recently with Eleanor Schuitema, Hope Haarer, Maya Kuszak and Will Schuitema being named to the 2026 CSC NAIA At-Large Academic All-District Team.
The CSC Academic All-District distinction is designed to recognize student-athletes for outstanding achievements in academics and athletics. To receive the honor, an athlete must have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or higher on a 4.0 scale, must have reached sophomore status academically, and must have competed in at least 90-percent of their team's competitions during the current season.
Each university is limited to six nominations for the men's at-large team and six for the women's at-large team, which recognize student-athletes from an assortment of sports, including lacrosse, competitive cheer and golf.
Eleanor Schuitema was awarded CSC Academic All-District recognition in her first season of eligibility for the honor after posting a 3.95 cumulative grade-point average in exercise science. The sophomore played to NAIA Third-Team All-American and First-Team All-Crossroads League honors with a 76.4 scoring average during her second season with the Trojans.
Haarer repeated as a CSC Academic All-District selection during her junior campaign with TU, posting a 3.80 cumulative grade-point average in elementary education. Haarer also earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete honors earlier this spring for her work in the classroom.
Kuszak joined Schuitema and Haarer as TU's third women's golfer to earn CSC Academic All-District recognition this spring. The junior boasts a 3.86 cumulative grade-point average in elementary education and adds the CSC honor to a NAIA Scholar-Athlete nod this season.
Will Schuitema was TU's lone representative from the men's team, earning a third-straight CSC Academic All-District award with a 3.67 cumulative grade-point average in mathematics. The senior led Taylor with a 74.0 scoring average on his way to NAIA All-Midwest Region and All-Crossroads League recognition.
The four CSC Academic All-District awards from TU golf increased the number of honors by Taylor Athletics for the 2025-2026 year to 61.
Selected CSC Academic All-District recipients advance to the ballot for CSC Academic All-American honors, which will be voted on by members of the CSC before being announced on July 8.
