Goldey-Beacom's Department of Athletics is proud to present the team academic awards, given to the one person from each specific team who has the best cumulative grade point average.
Please note the rules set forth by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) are applied as freshmen are ineligible.
Though the spring awards have not been announced yet by the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, Goldey-Beacom will have 48 student-athletes picked to the league's Academic Honor Roll.
Goldey-Beacom last year saw its student-athletes record a 3.14 GPA, higher than the overall average of the College. The College also had four of its teams win an inaugural CACC Team Academic Award for having the highest team GPA in the league, tying for the most in the conference. This included women's tennis (3.61), women's soccer (3.58), women's volleyball (3.47) and men's soccer (3.26).
Among this year's individual accolades included Line Kristoffersen (Bergen, Norway) from women's soccer, Rose Benjamin (North East, MD) from women's soccer and Lindsay Przywara (Williamstown, NJ) from volleyball each being tabbed CoSIDA Academic All-District for a second straight year. This brings the total of Academic All-District honorees for the College to 19.
Goldey-Beacom also is proud to boast six CoSIDA Academic All-Americas.
