Aurora University women's basketball senior Julie Galauner continued to add to her lengthy all around accomplishments as a Spartan on Wednesday as she was named to the CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-America team. Galauner was selected for her combined performances in the classroom and on the court.

The CoSIDA Academic All-America® honor which is chosen based off the student-athletes combined prowess on the field and in the classroom is the latest achievement in an immensely successful 2020-2021 year for Galauner. She becomes the 34th CoSIDA Academic All-America selection for AU. 

Galauner is a Parks and Recreation Leadership major with a perfect 3.92 grade point average while having many accolades in her career thus far. Currently second on the AU all-time scoring list, Galauner was named a 2020-2021 D3hoops.com All-Region honoree as well as CoSIDA First-Team All-District after having been selected as the South Division Player of the Year and First-Team All-Conference.

She averaged a team and NACC leading 23.0 points per game with 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 2.0 steals per game while shooting 41.3-percent from the field and 39.1-percent from three-point range. Through the end of the 2020-2021 season, she is second on the all-time list with 1,617 points as she is on a quest to catch the 1,693 points by Dana Lettow. She is a three-time all-region selection, four-time NACC all-conference honoree and will be a four-time NACC and AU scholar-athlete.
