Westfield, Mass. — A total of 737 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league’s Fall 2014 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 MASCAC institutions during the course of the Fall 2014 athletic season 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.

“I want to commend all the MASCAC institutions and affiliates on having such an incredible number of student-athletes honored on the Fall MASCAC All-Academic Team,” Commissioner Baumann said of this year’s squad. “The fact that the number of honorees recognized is increasing each year is a testament to the hard work that they put in not only on the MASCAC fields and courts but in the classroom as well.”
