BLOOMSBURG- Bloomsburg University outfielder/pitcher Matt Robinson (York/ Red Lion) has been named to the 2006 CoSIDA/ ESPN the Magazine Academic-All District Team. Robinson was named to the District II Second-Team. It is the first time since the 1998-99 season that a male athlete has been awarded this honor.

Robinson, a junior business education major, has a 3.80 GPA, all while being one of the key members of the Bloomsburg baseball team. This past season, Robinson batted .350 with a .449 on-base percentage, drove in 20 runs, and scored a team-leading 39 times. He was also one of the Huskies most consistent pitchers, throwing 38.1 innings out the bullpen while posting team-best 3.29 ERA.

"Matt does it all," says head coach Mike Collins. "He is a pleasure to coach and sets a fine example for everyone. He is a business education major and I think he will make a fantastic teacher."
