Carly Loehrke

Kyle Witucky (Zanesville, Ohio / Zanesville) and Carly Loehrke (Kalamazoo, Mich. / Mattawan) of The College of Wooster were named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Teams for men’s and women’s basketball, following a vote by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) members.

Witucky earned first-team honors, and thus, moves on to the ballot for the Academic All-America® Team, which will be announced March 1. Loehrke garnered third-team mention.

A four-year starter at point guard, Witucky has led the Fighting Scots to a 104-11 record (.904) during his career, including 21-1 and the No. 1 ranking (D3hoops.com) this season. Statistically, the preseason All-American (Street & Smith’s) is one of six players on Wooster’s traditionally balanced team averaging 9.0-plus points (9.1) and he currently leads the North Coast Athletic Conference in assist-to-turnover ratio (+2.55 per game), in addition to ranking second in assists (4.23 apg) and among the top-10 in 3-pointers (1.82 made per game).

Kyle, the son of Steve and Carolyn Witucky, is a political science major and plans on going to law school.

Loehrke, a 6-0 junior post, has proven to be one of the top players in the conference this year, ranking in the top-five in four key statistical categories – scoring (14.5 ppg), rebounding (7.9 rpg), field-goal percentage (.516), and free throw percentage (.844). She not only is Wooster’s top scorer and rebounder, but also leads the squad in assists (2.10 apg) and blocked shots (1.28 bpg), and is second in steals (1.57 spg).

The daughter of Mark Loehrke and Judy Johnson, Carly is majoring in communication sciences and disorders with a minor in psychology. She has made the Dean’s List three times and regularly volunteers in the community, most recently taking part in Scots In Service and Ohio Reads.

The Academic All-District Teams are determined by CoSIDA after a review of nominations of key players with a minimum 3.20 cumulative GPA from the college division (NCAA Div. II and III, and NAIA) in Wooster’s five-state district (Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee).
