Golf Places Two on CSC Academic All-District Team

By Nathan Baliva

MONMOUTH, ILL. The Monmouth College golf teams had two student-athletes named Division III Academic All-District by College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) this week. To qualify for CSC Academic All-District, student-athletes must be at least sophomore standing, have a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA and participate in 75 percent of the matches with a team score or play in the conference championships.

Seniors Thomas Henson (Geneseo, Illinois) and Annalyn Lovell (Oneida, Illinois) were both honored this year. Both Henson and Lovell are three-time selections to the Academic All-District Team and both graduated from Monmouth last month

Overall, the Scots have had 46 CSC Academic All-District selections so far for the 2025-26 season. The track and field honorees will be announced later this month.

Sorensen Votes Against Additional Funding for Trump’s ICE and CBP

WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Eric Sorensen (IL-17) released the following statement after voting against giving Trump’s ICE and CBP an additional $70 billion in federal funding:

“Donald Trump should not be able to use ICE and CBP to tear families apart and terrorize my neighbors, which is why I voted against House Republicans' latest attempt to use our tax dollars to fund these agencies,” said Congressman Eric Sorensen. “My constituents in Central and Northwestern Illinois want our tax dollars to be used to lower the cost of healthcare and groceries, not a $70 billion blank check for Trump to continue using ICE and CBP for political gain.”
