EORI NAMED CoSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-DIStrICT
May 27, 2004
PITTSBURG, KAN. … Garnering yet another award for the 2004 season is Mark Eori as he was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII At-Large First-Team. Eori is the first athlete since 2001 to receive this honor from the district sports information directors. The last SBU athlete to be given this award was Sarah Patterson in 2001 as she was voted onto the Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-District First-Team for softball.
Eori helped SBU to a 24-5 record, a second straight MIAA Championship, and a second trip to the Elight Eight this past season. He was named the NCAA Division II North Central Region Arthur Ashe award winner and voted onto the all-MIAA First-Team twice at #2 singles and #1 doubles. He became the all-time singles career holder for wins at 106 with a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Jason Ray of Abilene Christian.
For a third straight year, he was named an ITA All-American and was an ITA National Academic award winner. He is also a three-time member of the MIAA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll and two-time member of the all-MIAA Academic team.
Last year, Eori was awarded the MIAA’s top athletic award in the Ken B. Jones award. He was only the second athlete from SBU to ever receive that award. With doubles partner Andras Bori, they won the 2002 ITA NCAA Division II National Doubles Tournament in Houston, Texas.
Eori was voted onto the first-team by the sports information directors of District VII. To receive this award is quite an honor on the at-large team as 15 sports are represented in this category.
This past weekend, Eori graduated with a 3.8 gpa and a degree in economics/finance. He will now move onto a job in Hungrary working for Proctor and Gamble.
