December 2025 graduate Sergio Barroso (Madrid, Spain/Colegio Montpellier), rising senior Julius van den Broek (Bergschenhoek, The Netherlands/Wolfert Lyceum), and rising sophomores Richard Lin (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Cardinal Gibbons) and Jamie Macpherson (Durham, United Kingdom/Framwellgate School Durham) were all named ITA Scholar-Athletes, necessitating recording a minimum 3.5 grade-point average during the school year. They were among 29 men from the Northeast 10 Conference to land the honor, as 577 student-athletes from across NCAA Division II claimed recognition. Barroso landed his second career ITA laurel.
 
The Purple Knights were among four NE10 programs to garner ITA All-Academic Team honors. In all, 76 programs from Division II qualified by posting a 3.2 GPA or better for the most recent school year.
