COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College saw 282 student-athletes qualify for the Northeast 10 Conference Academic Honor Roll for the fall semester, including 36 that posted a 4.0 grade-point average last term.
Saint Michael's ranked sixth among the league's 10 core institutions by placing 69.1% of its NE10 student-athletes on the Academic Honor Roll, sixth by seeing 12.8% of its qualifiers post 4.0 GPAs this past fall, and ninth in total number of NE10 Academic Honor Roll honorees. Student-athletes that earn a 3.0 GPA in a given semester are eligible for the Academic Honor Roll. Nineteen of the Purple Knights' squads compete in the NE10.
The Academic Honor Roll is broken by the conference into three categories: Academic Excellence for those with a 4.0 GPA, Academic Distinction for those between 3.50 and 3.99, and Academic Honors for student-athletes between 3.00 and 3.49. Beyond the 36 Purple Knights who earned Academic Excellence, 128 positioned themselves for Academic Distinction and another 118 claimed Academic Honors.
Men's lacrosse had a College-high 33 qualifiers, while women's soccer (27), baseball (24), men's ice hockey (22), women's lacrosse (22) and men's soccer (20) all followed. Softball (16), women's swimming & diving (16), women's cross country (14), women's basketball (13), women's outdoor track (13), women's volleyball (13) and men's swimming & diving (12) also all had at least a dozen representatives. Every rostered women's tennis student-athlete qualified for the second straight semester, as that squad was one short of the league lead in its sport while women's basketball trailed the leader by two qualifiers.
