33 Trailblazers earn MASCAC All Academic Honors

Westfield, MA — A total of 891 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league's 2022 Winter/Spring All-Academic Team that was released earlier today by Commissioner Angela Baumann.  MCLA was well represented on the team with 33 Trailblazers earning the grades.  The Trailblazers had athletes represented from Baseball, Men's and Women's Basketball, Softball, and Men's and Women's Lacrosse.

Student-athletes who compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the MASCAC institutions during the Winter and Spring 2022 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. 

"I want to congratulate the 891 student-athletes who were named to the 2022 MASCAC Winter/Spring All-Academic team," Commissioner Baumann said. "The number of honorees recognized this year has increased which shows the dedication that the student-athletes around the conference have towards their academic success."

The Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference, the nation's oldest Division III men's and women's playing conference, has a rich and storied tradition of competitive success while celebrating excellence in the classroom. MASCAC member schools include Bridgewater State University, Fitchburg State University, Framingham State University, MCLA, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Salem State University, Westfield State University and Worcester State University.
