FRISCO, Texas - Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi senior
Dani Bergmann has been named to the All-Southland Academic Second Team in a press release from the conference office on Monday. Bergmann, an All-Southland honorable mention performer, maintained a 3.69 GPA in Environmental Science. She graduated with her bachelor's degree earlier this month from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
Bergmann, a native of Schwabmuenchen, played in all 11 tournaments for the Islanders as a senior, carding a 75.52 average. She had 28 rounds in the 70s and shot a season low 71 three times on the year.

In the final meet of the year, she broke the Islander career record for birdies with 185.
The All-Academic teams are voted on by a head coach, sports information director and academic/compliance staff member from each Southland Conference institution. Student-athletes must possess a 3.0 cumulative GPA, have completed one full academic year at the nominating institution and participated in at least 50 percent of the team's competition to qualify for All-Academic selection. Nominees who were also named to the All-Conference First Team or CoSIDA Academic All-District team are automatically named Southland All-Academic.
The Southland Conference awards committee, which consists of one administrator from each of the 13 member schools, votes for the student-athlete of the year. The Southland student-athlete of the year award is presented to one student-athlete who achieves excellence in both academics and athletics. All nominees must have earned at least a 3.2 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and demonstrated athletics achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution.
