TROY, N.Y. – Eighty-one Union College student-athletes were recognized for their academic prowess by earning spots on the Liberty League Fall All-Academic Teams, the conference announced on Thursday afternoon.
The Liberty League’s fall championship sports include men’s and women’s cross country, field hockey, football, men’s and women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball. To be recognized as a member of the All-Academic team, a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30.
More than 55 percent (45 of 81) of Union’s honorees are repeat selections to the All-Academic Team, while over 22 percent (18 of 81) were selected for the usual maximum third straight season and two – football seniors Joseph Ferreira and Austin St. Pierre – were honored for the fourth time after all athletes received an extra year of eligibility due to COVID-19. The football team led all fall sports with 21 selections, followed by the women’s soccer team with 17 selections.
