100 Student-Athletes Earn Prestigious Honor from League Office
SOUTH EASTON, Mass. – The Northeast-10 Conference has announced its Academic All-Conference teams for the 2013-14 spring athletic season, and a total of 100 student-athletes have been honored with the recognition.
Each of the conference’s 15 member institutions had at least one student-athlete selected for this prestigious honor.
For a complete list of the Academic All-Conference selections, which are chosen by a committee vote of Faculty Athletic Representatives (FARs) and other athletic administrators, please see below.
The 100 student-athletes were recognized for their outstanding achievements in the classroom and on the playing field in baseball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and men’s and women’s outdoor track & field.
To be eligible for selection to the Northeast-10 Academic All-Conference Teams, a student-athlete must have met or exceeded the following minimum requirements: 1) participated in at least half of the team's competitions and been either a starter or significant contributor; 2) achieved a 3.30 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale); and 3) completed at least one academic year at his/her current institution.
Of the 100 student-athletes that were selected, it marked at least the second time receiving the honor for 30 of the young men and women, while six were selected for the third time during their careers.
Those six student-athletes to receive academic all-conference honors for the third time are: Devan Crimi, Adelphi University; Tanya Robidoux, Assumption College, Megan Collins andSarah Harrison, Le Moyne College; Phoebe Clark, Southern New Hampshire University; and A.J. Guerra, Southern Connecticut State University

Adelphi’s Katie Andrews (softball) and Devan Crimi (women’s lacrosse), American International College’s Cassio Schwab, pictured, (men’s tennis), and the University of New Haven’s Ada Udaya (women’s track and field) all were tabbed to receive both honors.
Also, among those student-athletes that were selected for NE-10

national-title winning women’s lacrosse team, including NCAA

eight of the nine spring sports, while Adelphi and Stonehill
College each had 12 student-athletes selected.
New Haven had 11 honorees, while Le Moyne had ten student-athletes named Academic All-Conference.
