EASTON, Massachusetts (July 2, 2021) – The Stonehill College baseball team saw sophomore outfielder Conor Kiely voted to the CoSIDA Academic All-District® first team in District I, as selected by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) in the East Region. Kiely is now eligible for Academic All-America® honors, selected by CoSIDA's Academic All-America® committee, as well as voters from Division II, to be announced in July.
Kiely who earned a 3.77 cumulative grade-point average after his second year in the Purple & White, is majoring in finance, and was one of six honorees from the Northeast-10 Conference out of 12 recipients in District I. Kiely is the fifth name from the program that has received the recognition, and the sixth awardee, as Christian Baglini '15 earned the honor twice.
Most recently, the sophomore was named to the NE10 Academic All-Conference team and was also the fifth name added to the list for the Skyhawks, and sixth to receive the honor as Baglini once again earned the award twice. In the beginning of June, the outfielder was also named to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings All-East Region second team and prior to that he was tabbed to the NE10 All-Conference first team and the NE10 All-Rookie Team. He has been named to the NE10 Academic and Athletic Director's Honor Rolls and the Dean's List.
