Cobleskill, N.Y.: The North Atlantic Conference (NAC) announced today that a total of 48 SUNY Cobleskill student-athletes have been named to the league's Fall 2020 All-Academic Team. This marks the highest number of Fighting Tiger student-athletes to have ever been selected to a conference All-Academic Team in program history.

According to Fighting Tiger Athletic Director Marie Curran-Headley this academic performance in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic is truly impressive.
"The academic achievement of our student-athletes this past semester is remarkable. Their work ethic and dedication continue to impress me. The obstacles and distraction during this pandemic could have easily had a negative impact on the academic performance of our Fighting Tigers, it did not. To say we are proud is an understatement."

In order to be eligible for NAC All-Academic honors, student athletes must be participating members of their respective team and achieve a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher on a 4.0 scale. Member institutions are responsible for identifying eligible student athletes.

All-Academic Team honors are bestowed twice a year, at the conclusion of the fall and spring semesters. Traditionally, the fall semester All-Academic Team includes only student athletes who compete in sports with a fall conference championship, and the spring team includes only those who compete in sports with winter or spring conference championships. For the 2020-21 academic year, however, student athletes on all NAC-sponsored sport rosters are eligible for both fall and spring recognition due to unconventional NCAA seasons.

Playing seasons are usually limited to 18 or 19 weeks in the fall, winter, or spring. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teams are able to practice or compete on 114 days throughout the course of the entire academic year, regardless of the traditional sport season or when those days occur. Most teams in the conference are utilizing days across both fall and spring semesters.

The Fall 2020 NAC All-Academic Team recognizes student athletes who practiced or competed in any of the 18 conference-sponsored sports during the fall semester. NAC sports include baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming & diving, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's outdoor track & field, and women's volleyball.
