2016 Nov 30

Danielle Gau of Monticello was one of 27 student-athletes who earned Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Fall All-Academic honors during the 2016 season. 10 football players, nine soccer players and eight volleyball players garnered the award for the Golden Eagles.

The NSIC had 662 student-athletes who earned NSIC All-Academic honors for the 2016 fall athletic season. To be eligible for this honor, the student-athlete must be a member of the varsity traveling team and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or better. Furthermore, the student-athlete must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at her/his institution (true freshmen, red-shirt freshmen and ineligible athletic transfers are not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at that institution.

The overall total of student-athletes UMC had receive the honor during the fall season is up from 21 from 2015. Football showed vast improvement with five more student-athletes garnering the honor. Soccer maintained their nine student-athletes from last season, while volleyball added one more to their tally of seven from 2015.

The Golden Eagles had 52 student-athletes receive All-Academic standing last season. They are off to a strong start for the 2016-17 season with their 27 student-athletes during the fall slate. Over 20 percent of the student-athlete population were NSIC All-Academic recipients last season.
