South Easton, Mass. – The Northeast-10 Conference has
announced the members of the Spring 2009 Commissioner’s Honor
Roll. In total, 2,619 student-athletes representing each of the
conference’s 15 member institutions are included on this
year’s list.
The Commissioner’s Honor Roll is determined and submitted by
each institution’s Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR). The
honor roll recognizes student-athletes at each of the
conference’s 15 institutions for their success in the
classroom.
Bentley University featured the most student-athletes selected to
the Northeast-10 Commissioner’s Honor Roll with 346, followed
by Stonehill College with 256 student-athletes honored. Assumption
College had 215 athletes selected, while American International
College had 186 represented.
The Commissioner’s Honor Roll includes the 2008-2009
Northeast-10 Scholar-Athletes of the Year, Merrimack
College’s Caitlin Hall (Westminster,
Mass) and UMass Lowell’s Ruben
Sanca (Boston, Mass.). Southern New Hampshire’s
Julie Kraus (Derry, N.H.), who was named
to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America First-Team,
also highlights the list. Franklin Pierce women’s soccer
standout Angelika Johansson (Falkenberg,
Sweden) and Southern New Hampshire women’s
lacrosse player Libby Parent (Hinesburg,
Vt.) both earned ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic
All-America honors as well.
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). Due to a revision of the conference’s academic
awards program, the Commissioner’s Honor Roll is based only
off the Spring 2009 semester. Starting next year, the conference
will release two Commissioner’s Honor Roll listings for both
the fall and spring semesters.
With 16 member institutions the Northeast-10 shares the
distinction of being the largest Division II conference in the
country along with the PSAC and WVIAC. Its 23 championship sports
provide athletic opportunities for over 5,500 student-athletes, the
largest such program of any Division II conference.
