NORTH ADAMS, Mass. –  One hundred and twelve Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA) student-athletes have been honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) with their selection to the league's 2023 Fall/Winter All-Academic Team that was released earlier today by Commissioner Angela Baumann.

Student-athletes who compete in championship varsity sports offered by each of the MASCAC institutions during the course of the Fall and Winter 2023 athletic seasons and have achieved a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the semester are eligible for selection to the Fall/Winter All-Academic.

"It is my honor as Commissioner to congratulate the 2023 MASCAC Fall/Winter All-Academic Team," Commissioner Baumann said. "We saw a significant increase in those recognized from last year's team, which shows the commitment to excellence that our student-athletes in the conference strive to achieve. I am so proud of their hard work on the fields, courts, and classrooms of our conference."
