MAAC Sports
Twenty nine MAAC softball players are among the over 4,000 student-athletes representing 707 different academic institutions that were named as a 2011 NFCA All-America Scholar Athlete, the Association announced Thursday.
The award is given to any player submitted by a member coach who achieved a 3.50 grade point average or higher during the 2010-11 academic year. The award is the second component of the Association's academic award program. Last week, the teams with the highest GPAs in each membership category were recognized as a 2011 NFCA Top Ten All-Academic team.
This year's total of 4,331 honorees bested last year's total by over 30 student-athletes. The membership category with the most participating institutions this year was Division III with 168, while high school led the way in total honorees with 1,160.
