NEW YORK, N.Y. - A total of 202 Seton Hall student-athletes have been named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team for the 2017-18 season, the league announced on Tuesday (Aug. 7). The number features multiple members from all 14 varsity sports and in total encompasses 81 percent of all Seton Hall student-athletes.
Nominations for the All-Academic Team are submitted by each of the BIG EAST's 10 member and nine affiliate institutions. To be eligible for the honor, a nominee must have competed in a BIG EAST-sponsored sport, attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 for the preceding academic year, and completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters of academic work, with a total of 18 semester or 27 quarter credits, not including remedial courses.
Â
The nominations are reviewed and approved by the BIG EAST Academic Affairs Committee. There are 2,485 honorees for the 2017-18 academic year, the second-highest total in the five years since realignment.
For the seventh-straight year Seton Hall student-athletes broke a record for cumulative GPA, closing the 2017-18 academic year with a 3.405 cumulative GPA. Women's Golf recently earned the 2017-18 BIG EAST Team Academic Excellence Award for earning the highest team GPA among all teams in the BIG EAST. Additionally, three student-athletes won BIG EAST Sport Excellence Awards for academic and athletic success; Rob Dadona (baseball), Alexis Walkden (softball) and Noah Yanchulis (men's swimming).
Two student-athletes, Dadona and Walkden earned CoSIDA First Team Academic All-District II honors this season. Six programs, baseball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's golf, and women's swimming & diving all received NCAA recognition for ranking in the top 10 percent of the nation for Academic Progress Rating (APR). Amongst the outgoing senior class, 42 student-athletes earned the academic merit award and graduated with at least a 3.2 cumulative GPA.
