Student Athletes Shine on MEC Academic Teams

The Mountain East Conference has released its All-MEC Academic Teams and the Commissioner’s Honor Roll for the Fall 2022 semester.

Nearly 1,300 student-athletes were recognized by the MEC, with more than half earning Academic All-MEC honors (3.70 or higher) in their respective sports. UC had 116 student athletes on the All-MEC Academic Team, and 81 on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

To be a member of the All-MEC Academic Team, the student-athlete must be a member of the active roster and have a grade-point average of 3.70-4.00 in the semester of their championship season. To qualify for the Commissioner’s Honor Roll, a student-athlete must be a member of the active roster and post a grade-point average between 3.25-3.69 in the semester of their championship season.

“We are so proud of the many accomplishments that our student-athletes receive for their classroom performance,” stated Dr. Bren Stevens, UC Vice President and Director of Athletics. “I want to thank our faculty members for inspiring our athletes to work hard and appreciate the gift of a higher education degree.”

Eligible student athletes played on teams that conducted their championship in the fall (football, men’s cross country, men’s golf, men’s soccer, women’s volleyball, women’s cross country, women’s golf and women’s soccer).
