Logic, Disterhoft are Academic All-Americans

IOWA CITY - Only one Division-I women's basketball team has two Capital One Academic All-Americans.

It's Iowa.

Senior Samantha Logic and sophomore Ally Disterhoft have been named to the third team.

Logic, a health and human physiology and sports studies major with a 3.77 GPA, and Disterhoft, who carries a 4.04 mark as a business major, account for two of the 15 honorees, and represent two of the three honorees from the Big Ten.

Logic, named preseason All-Big Ten and preseason All-America by ESPN, is the only player in NCAA history to accumulate at least 1,400 career points, 800 rebounds, 800 assists, and 200 steals.

She is the NCAA's active career assists leader (831) and ranks third in assists in Big Ten history. She leads the Big Ten and ranks third in the NCAA in the category this season (7.7), while also averaging 12.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game.

An Iowa City native, Disterhoft has started the last 44 games for the Hawkeyes, scoring in double figures in 40 of 44 career starts. She has scored in double figures in 18 of the last 19 games, and ranks first on the team, and 11th in the conference, in scoring (15.4).

Lindsey Meder was the last Hawkeye to earn Academic All-America honors (2001, 2002).

No. 16 Iowa (21-6, 12-4) hosts Wisconsin tonight.
