Josh Page Named First-Team Academic All-District

    Youngstown -- Youngstown State senior infielder Josh Page has been voted First-Team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
    Page, who earned second-team honors the previous two years, is only the second baseball player in YSU history to earn first-team academic all-district honors. In 2006 Brandon Caipen was a first-team selection and went on to earn Second-Team Academic All-America accolades.
    Page is also the only student-athlete in school history to earn academic all-district mentioning three times.
    A native of Plain City, Ohio, Page is a three-time Academic All-Horizon League pick and has appeared on the Horizon League honor roll seven times. He has achieved a perfect 4.0 grade-point average in three semesters, and he earned his degree in middle childhood education earlier this month. He graduated summa cum laude with a final GPA of 3.86.
    Page finished his playing career with a solid senior campaign in which he batted .313 with 67 hits, 33 runs and a career-high three home runs. He leaves YSU ranking fourth in career games played (207) and fifth in hits (233).
