WACO, Texas – Baylor men’s tennis graduate seniors Charlie Broom and Nick Stachowiak have been named to the 2021 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District At-Large First Team for District 7, as announced Thursday by the organization.

Student-athletes are recognized by CoSIDA members for their combined performances in athletic competition and in the classroom. To be considered, one must accumulate a cumulative GPA between 3.30-4.00 with at least a sophomore athletic standing, while being a starter or key reserve for their respective team.

Broom, a graduate transfer from Dartmouth, held a 3.46 undergraduate GPA in biochemistry while attending the Ivy League university. At Baylor, he compiled a 3.83 GPA while pursuing a master’s in sports pedagogy.

The unanimous Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, Broom led the Bears with a combined 48 wins in singles and doubles play in 2020-21. He earned All-Big 12 Second-Team distinction in singles after being named the conference’s individual champion at the No. 5 position. In helping the Bears reach the NCAA National Championship, a pair of Big 12 titles and their first No. 1 ranking since 2005, Broom was named to the Big 12 Championship and ITA National Indoors All-Tournament Teams.

Originally from Cary, N.C., Stachowiak graduated from Duke with a 3.6 GPA in psychology before transferring to Baylor. Currently, he carries a 3.97 GPA in business administration while working towards his MBA with a concentration in cyber security. Stachowiak was also named Baylor’s American Bank Academic All-Star of the Year for male student-athletes.

An All-Big 12 Second-Team selection in both singles and doubles, Stachowiak compiled 47 combined victories in the 2020-21 season. He ranked as high as No. 33 in the Oracle/ITA doubles rankings and No. 74 in the singles poll. Stachowiak went undefeated in the postseason, helping the Bears to their first national title match appearance since 2005.

Baylor’s two selections mark the sixth and seventh times a men’s tennis student-athlete has earned a CoSIDA All-District nod. This is the first season in program history in which BU has received two honorees.

The Academic All-District teams are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. District 7 covers Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas.

First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America honorees will be announced in early August.
