Baseball. Duckworth, Kraft Receive C-USA All-Academic Nods

IRVING, Texas – Honored for their success on the field and in the classroom, WKU sophomores Kaleb Duckworth and Steven Kraft were both selected to the 2016 Conference USA Baseball All-Academic team, the league announced on Monday.

The duo were two of 12 players named to the all-academic squad as the Hilltoppers were one of three schools to have multiple student-athletes honored, joining Louisiana Tech and Southern Miss. WKU also had a pair on the team in its debut season in the league last season, with the Tops being the only team to have multiple representatives in the past two years.
