Westfield, MA — A total of 1,152 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league’s Winter/Spring 2020 All-Academic Team that was released earlier today by Commissioner Angela Baumann.
Student-athletes who compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the MASCAC institutions during the course of the Winter and Spring 2020 athletic season and have achieved a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the semester are eligible for selection to the Winter/Spring All-Academic Team.
Bridgewater State University placed the most student-athletes on the Winter/Spring 2020 MASCAC All-Academic Team with 201 total, while Worcester State University was next in second with 176 and Westfield State University third with 169.
