SOUTH EASTON, Mass. – A total of 3,061 student-athletes have been named to the Northeast-10 Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the 2013 spring semester, the conference office announced on Thursday. That number accounts for 51.4 percent of all Northeast-10 student-athletes.

"We're extremely proud of the academic accomplishments of our
student-athletes,” said Northeast-10 commissioner
Julie Ruppert. “The fact that
almost 52 percent of nearly 6,000 students reached this benchmark
once again illustrates that our student-athletes have proven to
excel not only on the athletic fields, but in the academic arena as
well.”
Bentley University had the most student-athletes recognized (348)

501) of the school’s student-athletes received the conference
academic honor.

& field had 228 named and baseball had 224 honorees.
To be eligible for selection to the Northeast-10 Commissioner's
Honor Roll, a student-athlete must have met and or exceeded a
minimum 3.0 semester grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) during
the Spring 2013 semester.
The Northeast-10 Conference is an association of 16 NCAA Division
II colleges and universities located in New England and New York
that is committed to supporting balanced academic and athletic
opportunities for more than 6,000 student-athletes. Each year,
4,000 of those student-athletes compete in conference championships
in 23 sports, making the NE-10 the largest DII conference in the
country. Leading the way in the classroom, on the field and within
the community, the Northeast-10 is proud of its comprehensive
program and the experience it provides student-athletes.
