56 Cobbers Earn Academic All-Conference Honors
MOORHEAD, Minn. (1/24/24)---Concordia placed 56 student-athletes on the MIAC Academic All-Conference honor roll list for the fall sports season.
The 56 honorees are four more than last fall when the Cobbers placed a record-setting 52 student-athletes on the list. It marks the fourth time in the past five falls that Concordia has posted a record number of student-athletes who received MIAC Academic All-Conference honors.
The league honors student-athletes in six different fall sports teams with men’s and women’s golf awards being handed out in the spring.
In order to qualify for Academic All-MIAC status, student-athletes must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors by academic standards with a minimum cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.
To meet the athletic qualifications, an individual must be a member of a MIAC-sponsored varsity sports team, be academically and athletically eligible, have utilized a season of participation per NCAA and MIAC definitions, and have remained on the sports roster through the conclusion of the sports season in order to be eligible for Academic All-Conference honors.
The Concordia football team led the way for the Cobbers. They placed 16 student-athletes on the Academic All-Conference list. Volleyball and women’s soccer also had a double-digit honoree number. Volleyball had 11 student-athletes receive the honor, while women’s soccer had 10.
The total number of Academic All-MIAC honorees for fall sports has increased every year since 2011. Football led all fall sports this year with a record 193 honorees - up six from a season ago. Women's soccer also finished with a new sport record of 169 honorees, surpassing its previous best of 159 set in 2021-22. Men's soccer has a new high of 125 honorees, topping its 2021-22 record mark by six. Volleyball matched its 2022-23 total of 115, four shy of the all-time sport record, while women's cross country also surpassed the century mark with 105 honorees this fall.
