MCLA places 30 athletes on MASCAC All Academic Team

Westfield, Mass. — The Trailblazers were well represented on the spring MASCAC All Academic team as MCLA placed 30 student athletes on the roster.  Student Athletes from the winter and spring seasons were selected.

A total of 660 student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference with selection to the league’s Spring 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 Spring 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 Spring All-Academic Team. 

Westfield State University landed the most student-athletes on the Spring 2014 MASCAC All-Academic Team with 149 total while Bridgewater State University was next with 135, Worcester State placed 92 and Fitchburg State finished with 90 student-athletes on the team. 

“The number of MASCAC student-athletes recognized on the MASCAC All-Academic Team continues to increase each year which shows how committed our student-athletes are both in the classroom and on the field of play."  Commissioner Baumann said "The accomplishments that all of the MASCAC student-athletes have achieved in the classroom is evidence to that commitment to success.”
