NEW HAVEN, Conn.  – The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) introduced its All-Academic Team for the 2013 Spring athletic season today. A total of 121 student-athletes from the 14 conference schools across five different sports have earned a place on the list, which is 13 more than in 2012.  The 120 Spring student-athletes represents a record number of all-academic team honorees since the conference began sponsoring the program in 2004-2005.

Twenty-six student-athletes were named to the team for the third time in their careers.  Thirty-five others were repeat selections.   Sixty student-athletes earned All-Academic honors for the first time in their careers.  Softball had the most All-Academic selections by sport with 46 overall, while baseball registered 28, women’s lacrosse tallied 23, men’s golf totaled 13 and men’s tennis added 10.

In order to be named to the CACC All-Academic team, recipients must have participated in a CACC-Championship sport in the Spring.
