Clarkson’s David Evans was named to the University Division First Team. The senior forward from Sand Lake, N.Y., carried a 3.86 grade point average in Bio-Molecular Science.<\/p>\n
Named to the University Division Third Team were Michael Boylan, a senior at Connecticut with a 3.90 GPA in Finance; Air Force senior Brian Gornick, 3.92 GPA, Operations Research; and junior Mark McRae, Cornell, with a 3.89 GPA in Pre-Med.<\/p>\n
Matt Donskov, a sophomore at Cortland, who carried a 4.00 in Business Economics, and senior Niklas Sundberg, Plattsburgh, 3.80 GPA, Computer Science, were each named to the College Division Second Team. Shawn Knorr, a senior at St. John’s with a 3.98 GPA in Biology, and Jamie Weiss, Wentworth junior, 3.98 GPA, Management of Technology, each received College Division Third Team honors.<\/p>\n
The Verizon Academic All-America Teams are selected by a vote of the 1,800-member CoSIDA. To be eligible, an athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve and maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.20 on a scale of 4.00. Sports information directors nominate eligible athletes from their schools who are named to district teams prior to being voted upon the national level.<\/p>\n
“This group of student-athletes typifies the kind of individuals the founders had in mind when the Academic All-America program was formed in 1952,” said Dick Lipe, CoSIDA’s Academic All-America chairman. “In this, our 50th anniversary year, the members of CoSIDA are proud to play a part in this tremendous program.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
