A total of 674 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league’s Fall 2015 All-Academic Team. Student-athletes that compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the MASCAC institutions during the course of the Fall 2015 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.
