BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Eleven Bridgewater State University student-athletes have been named to the 2020 Little East Conference (LEC) Fall All-Academic Team which was announced today.
The 11 BSU student-athletes include seven field hockey players and four representatives from the women's tennis team.
To earn a spot on the LEC Fall All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must be at least in sophomore standing in the classroom, have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher through the previous semester, and have been at their current institution for at least one full academic year.
Receiving the honor as members of the field hockey team are seniors Katie Swart (Bridgewater, Mass.) and Meghan Welch (Hubbardston, Mass.), juniors Victoria Camara (Westport, Mass.) and Aidan Ryan (Uxbridge, Mass.), and sophomores Jordyn Perry (Nantucket, Mass.), Emma Schoonover (Somerset, Mass.) and Olivia Sheehan (Hanson, Mass.). Representing the women’s tennis team are seniors Jessica Gaudreau (Hanson, Mass.), Michaela Loring (New Marlborough, Mass.) and Olivia Sweeney (Taunton, Mass.), and sophomore Brianna Venditti (North Smithfield, R.I.).
The Little East Conference began honoring an all-academic team during the 2007-08 academic year. While the majority of Bridgewater State varsity squads are members of the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC), three BSU teams call the Little East home. Field hockey and women’s tennis compete in the Little East in the fall, and men’s tennis in the spring.
