STATESBORO - Georgia Southern senior Valentin Dun and sophomores Pol del Castillo and Dimitris Paliouras have each earned spots on the Collegiate Sports Communicators Academic All-District Tennis team, announced today by the organization.

A senior from Concepcion del Uruguay, Argentina, Dun earns the honor for carrying a perfect 4.0 GPA in electrical engineering. The 2x Sun Belt Conference Academic Commissioner's List honoree went 9-4 in doubles this season for the Eagles in 2023.

Castillo, meanwhile, earns the honor for carrying a 3.79 GPA in mechanical engineering.

Finally, Paliouras earns his Academic All-District honor for carrying a 3.53 GPA in information technology. The Thessaloniki, Greece, native went 13-4 in singles for the Eagles as a sophomore and went unbeaten in Sun Belt play at 4-0.
