109 Fall Student-Athletes Earn Liberty League All-Academic Honors

TROY, N.Y. – Liberty League commissioner Tracy King has announced that 768 fall sport student-athletes have qualified for the league’s All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, marking the second-highest total for fall sports since the league began recognizing outstanding academic achievement. The total is surpassed only by the 835 student-athletes who earned a place on the seven All-Academic Teams last fall.

Ithaca College placed 109 student-athletes on the Fall All-Academic Team this year. Football had 36 recipients, followed by 17 each from field hockey and women’s soccer. Men’s soccer secured 13 members, while men’s cross country had 10 and women’s cross country and volleyball each received eight honorees.

The Liberty League’s fall championship sports include men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer and women’s volleyball. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing and enrolled full-time with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. The Liberty League elevated the GPA requirement from 3.20 to 3.30 in 2016-17 to follow the established standard for eligibility for CoSIDA Academic All-America awards.

“The academic performance of our student-athletes is always a great point of pride for the Liberty League,” said King. “Our student-athletes have consistently demonstrated that it is possible to not only achieve on the playing field or court, but also in the classroom and the community. I commend them for their outstanding achievements.”
