AUSTIN, Texas — Averett University senior Alixis Roccia was voted to the 2018-19 Google Cloud Academic All-America® Division III Women's Basketball Third Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Roccia, a guard from Fort MIll, South Carolina, had a strong final campaign for the Cougars, who won their first USA South Conference East Division regular season crown in program history. She totaled 10.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.3 steals this season while earning USA South East Division Second Team honors. Roccia graduated in three years with a 4.00 grade point average while majoring in psychology in May 2018. A dual-sport student-athlete, she returned for her final season of basketball eligibility while pursuing her master's degree in education and has a 4.00 GPA as well.
