Another Record-Setting Academic All-Conference Honorees

MOORHEAD, Minn. (1/23/25)---Concordia recorded another record-setting number of fall sports student-athletes who earned MIAC Academic All-Conference honors.

The Cobbers had 57 student-athletes from the six fall-only athletic teams receive the yearly conference academic award. That total is one more than last year’s record number of 56. It is also five more than the 2023 fall season.

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.

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. Students must also complete one full-time academic year at their current institution before becoming eligible for the honor.

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 to be eligible for Academic All-Conference honors.

The Cobber football team also posted a record number of MIAC Academic All-Conference award winners. They had 23 student-athletes receive the honor, seven more than last year. The volleyball program matched its total from 2023 as they had 11 honorees.

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 237 honorees - 44 more than last year. Both women's and men's soccer also set new sport highs; women's soccer had 181 honorees this past fall, surpassing its previous record of 169, while men's soccer had 136 honorees, up 11 from last fall. The 96 honorees in men's cross country represented a new high for the sport as well. Volleyball totaled 117 honorees - one shy of the all-time record set in 2021 - while women's cross country totaled 103 honorees to reach triple digits for the fifth consecutive season.
