MANSFIELD, Mass. – Last week, the Division 2 Athletics Directors Association (D2 ADA) announced its 2022-23 recipients of the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Awards –with Northeast-10 Conference institutions producing 1,380 student-athletes who earned the honor.
The Academic Achievement Awards, in their 16th year, is a program that recognizes the academic accomplishments of student-athletes at the Division II level. The NE10 ranked fourth among all conferences in total number of student-athletes honored.
Adelphi led all NE10 institutions with 165 honorees, while Bentley (153), Southern New Hampshire (133) and Pace (123) were all close behind.
In total, there was a record-breaking 19,539 student-athletes from 196 institutions recognized, the most since the inception of the award's program. The NE10 trailed only the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), the South Atlantic Conference (SAC) and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) in overall number of award recipients.
"This program continues to showcase the amazing student-athletes, and the impactful support of their coaches and staff, across our Division II landscape. I want to congratulate all the recipients for earning the D2 ADA Academic Achievement Award," said Kirby Garry, Director of Athletics at Cal State Monterey Bay and current D2 ADA President. "While the number of deserving student-athletes continues to increase annually, the number of institutions recognizing these individuals on campus also continues to trend upwards. We look forward to eclipsing the 200-institution barrier next year."
