Adelphi Leads with Three At-Large Selections.
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Five student-athletes representing three different institutions from the Northeast-10 Conference have been named Division II Academic All-Americans, as announced by College Sports Communicators (CSC) this week.
To be eligible for Academic All-America, student-athletes must own a cumulative 3.30 GPA or higher, be at least a sophomore in academic standing and be a starter or significant contributor athletically. The Academic All-District and All-America teams are voted on by CSC members.
The Division II Academic All-America® program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structure to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2022-23 Division II Academic All-America® program.
Adelphi had three honorees with two recipients on the women's side and one on the men's. Bianca Bachisin (field hockey) was the only At-Large First Team honoree in the NE10. She earned a 3.98 GPA as an undergrad and a 4.0 as a grad student while earning her degree in psychology.
Bachisin is joined by fellow Panthers Joe Duchnowski (men's lacrosse) as a Second Team member and Alexandra Beebe (women's lacrosse) on the Third Team. Duchnowski led his team with 41 goals and 126 points on the field, and boasted a 3.80 GPA as a graduate student. Beebe was the NE10 Defensive Player of the Year with 38 caused turnovers, ranking in the Top 5 in the NE10 while exceeding the 3.30 GPA requirement as a nursing major.
Bentley men's lacrosse student-athlete Nathan Alviti was named to the Second Team with a 3.91 GPA as a finance major and 24 goals to go with 15 assists and 18 ground balls on the season.
