ROSEMONT, Pa. – The Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) has named a total of 978 student-athletes from the conference's 11 core and seven associate member institutions to the Fall 2020 CSAC All-Academic Team. The CSAC All-Academic Team recognizes student-athletes who achieved a grade-point average of 3.20 of better during the Fall 2020 semester.
The CSAC Board of Directors adopted a resolution to honor fall, winter and spring student-athletes who met or exceeded the minimum GPA requirement, maintained full-time enrollment status at their institution and were included on the institution's roster during the Fall 2020 semester. Student-athletes who satisfy this criteria following the completion of the Spring 2021 semester will be recognized with a second CSAC All-Academic Team honor.
"I am extremely proud of the CSAC student-athletes who achieved All-Academic Team recognition during the Fall 2020 semester," said CSAC Commissioner Adrienne Mullikin.
