BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Seventy-One Bridgewater State University student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) with selection to the league’s Winter 2011-2012 All-Academic Team that was released by MASCAC Commissioner Angela Baumann.
Student-athletes that compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the nine MASCAC institutions during the course of the recently completed winter sports season, and have achieved a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the most recent academic semester, are eligible for selection to the Winter All-Academic Team.
Westfield State University placed the most student-athletes on the Winter 2011-2012 MASCAC All-Academic Team with 91, while Bridgewater State and Worcester State University (50) followed.
“I want to congratulate all eight member schools on having such a tremendous number of student-athletes honored on the Winter 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, Baumann added, "and the success that MASCAC student-athletes have achieved in the classroom is testament to that commitment.”
