85 Eagles Earn Fall Academic All-UMAC Awards; The Second Most in the Conference

ST. PAUL, Minn.- The University of Northwestern student-athletes excelled in the classroom this past semester as 85 Eagles who competed in fall sports were named Academic All-Conference award winners, the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference announced on Wednesday. The UMAC announced that 558 student-athletes were named Academic All-Conference which is the most in the fall semester in the history of the conference. The previous record was 525 honorees in the fall of 2021. Northwestern's 85 Academic All-Conference winners was the second most for a UMAC institution this fall. Martin Luther led the UMAC with 96 honorees.
 
To earn UMAC All-Academic honors, a student-athlete must post a 3.50 GPA or better grade point average during the semesters their sport was in season. The UMAC All-Academic Team awards are given to the programs that have the highest average GPA from the semesters the sport was in season, taking into account all athletes who used a year of eligibility.
