TROY, N.Y. – Liberty League commissioner Tracy King has announced that 624 fall sport student-athletes have qualified for the league's All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, marking the highest total for fall sports since the league began recognizing outstanding academic achievement.
For Ithaca College, a total of 105 student-athletes represented the Bombers across seven sports.
The Liberty League's fall championship sports include men's and women's cross country, field hockey, football, men's and women's soccer and volleyball. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. The Liberty League elevated the GPA requirement from 3.20 to 3.30 in 2016-17 to follow the established standard for eligibility for CoSIDA Academic All-America awards. The highest total for the fall was 620 student-athletes during both the 2015 and 2018 seasons. The GPA requirement was 3.20 in 2015.
"Academic success is a great point of pride for our Liberty League institutions and student-athletes," said King. "Our student-athletes continue to demonstrate that it is possible to not only excel academically, but to achieve athletically at the highest levels in Division III. I congratulate and salute them on their outstanding achievements."
The All-Liberty League teams will be announced next Tuesday, Nov. 12, for men's and women's soccer, and Wednesday, Nov. 13 for field hockey and volleyball.
