GREENWOOD, Ind. — Nine Santa Clara University student-athletes across five different sports were named to the Academic All-District At-Large Team Tuesday, as announced by College Sports Communicators. The honorees include Broncos student-athletes from men's water polo, women's water polo, men's golf, women's golf, and women's beach volleyball.
 
The distinguished group features Alvaro Muller Baumgart from men's golf; Ben Kyrillos and Thomas Wisdom from men's water polo; Holland Jackson, Noelle Niederman, and Alexandra Urbina from women's beach volleyball; Audrey Brust from women's golf; and Francesca Moynihan and Libby Slater from women's water polo. All nine Broncos student-athletes had to meet high academic and athletic standards related to their sport, which included carrying a minimum 3.500 cumulative Grade Point Average, and playing in a majority of their team's games/events.
 
Muller Baumgart, a graduate transfer from UCLA, wrapped up his collegiate career by posting a 3.86 GPA in his lone season with the Broncos. On the course, he was one of the biggest contributors for Santa Clara men's golf and their unprecedented success in 2024-25 that saw them shatter the program's team scoring average record and qualify for an NCAA Regional for just the third time in program history. As one of four players to compete in all 13 events, he turned in the third-best scoring average on the team at 72.13 strokes per round while posting five top-20 finishes. That includes a season-best tie for ninth finish at the 2025 WCC Championships in which he helped the Broncos finish in third place in stroke play.
 
Kyrillos has a 3.69 GPA in his environmental science major. He was named WCC All-Academic Honorable Mention in the fall and has earned "Superior" All-Academic honors from the Association of Collegiate Water Polo Coaches three years in a row. He appeared in all 24 of the Broncos' contests in 2024, scoring seven goals, finishing sixth on the team with 14 assists, tying for fifth with 21 steals, and second on the team with 18 field blocks. He also drew three exclusions. Kyrillos tied his career high with two goals on Senior Day versus Air Force on Nov. 15 and grabbed a career-high three steals versus San Jose State (Sept. 20).
 
Wisdom carries a 3.58 GPA as an economics major. He appeared in 22 of the Broncos' 24 games in the fall during his first playing season. He scored five goals and tallied five assists for 10 total points, drew five exclusions, swiped three steals and also recorded two field blocks. Wisdom scored his first career goal and notched his first career field block in his first collegiate appearance, putting one in the back of the net versus Fresno Pacific on Opening Day (Sept. 7). Scored again and drew his first career exclusion in his very next game versus Iona (Sept. 13), then scored goals in back-to-back games on Oct. 5 versus UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara. He tallied a season-high three assists, a goal and a drawn exclusion versus Concordia University Irvine on Oct. 11.
