BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. (January 29, 2013) - A total of 564 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league’s Fall 2012 All-Academic Team that was released earlier today by Commissioner Angela Baumann.
Student-athletes that compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the eight MASCAC institutions during the course of the recently completed Fall 2012 academic semester and have achieved a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the semester are eligible for selection to the Fall All-Academic Team.
Westfield State University placed the most student-athletes on the Fall 2012 MASCAC All-Academic Team with 125 total, while Bridgewater State University (97), Worcester State University (75) and the Massachusetts Maritime Academy (71) followed.
“I want to congratulate all eight member schools on having such a tremendous number of student-athletes honored on the Fall MASCAC All-Academic Team,” Commissioner Baumann said of this year’s squad. “The commitment to the all-around development of our student-athletes both in the classroom and in competition is something that our schools take great pride in, and the success that MASCAC student-athletes have achieved in the classroom is testament to that commitment.”
