ECFC Announces Academic Honorees

ECFC Announces Academic Honorees

MARSHFIELD, Mass. – The Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) announced its academic awards for the 2019 season this afternoon.

For the first time in conference history, the ECFC bestowed two different academic honors for achieving student-athletes. New for this season, the conference is naming an Academic Honor Roll. The Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes that achieved a 3.0 cumulative or fall semester-based G.P.A. or higher. Further, freshman and first-year transfer student-athletes are eligible for the recognition.

"I am happy that our ECFC Athletic Directors took an interest in honoring more of our student-athletes for their academic achievements," stated ECFC Commissioner Katie Boldvich. "Students that are able to balance both academics in the classroom while also contributing on the field deserve recognition not only from their institutions, but from the conference office as well. The addition of the ECFC Academic Honor Roll will certainly accomplish that and helps us to recognize more deserving student-athletes."

In total, 153 student-athletes from all six member institutions earned Academic Honor Roll recognition. Please click here for a list of all the ECFC Academic Honor Roll recipients.

The ECFC has continued to recognize an All-Academic team for high academic-achieving student-athletes. In total, 40 players were recognized with representatives from five ECFC institutions. For the second time in the past three seasons, Castleton University led the way with 15 honorees.

To be eligible for the ECFC All-Academic team, a student-athlete must have earned a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.3 or higher following the 2019 fall semester. Additionally, all honorees must be at least a sophomore in standing with a minimum two years of participation on the football team.
