Galloway, N.J. – Twenty-eight members of the Stockton University men's lacrosse program qualified for the
Fall 2020 Colonial States Athletic Conference All-Academic Team. The CSAC All-Academic Team recognizes student-athletes who have achieved a grade-point average of 3.20 or better during the Fall 2020 semester.
A total of 978 student-athletes from the conference's 11 core members and seven associate members were recognized. Stockton is an associate member of the CSAC in men's lacrosse because the University's primary conference, the New Jersey Athletic Conference, does not sponsor men's lacrosse as a league sport.
"I am extremely proud of the CSAC student-athletes who achieved All-Academic Team recognition during the Fall 2020 semester," said CSAC Commissioner Adrienne Mullikin. "I offer my heartfelt congratulations to these student-athletes for demonstrating excellence in the classroom amidst the unprecedented adversity they have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic."
Stockton's 28 CSAC All-Academic Team qualifiers comprise just under half of the squad's preseason roster of 57 student-athletes. Fourteen of the 28 Ospreys also earned CSAC All-Academic honors in Spring 2019, which is the last time that they were eligible.
Stockton won the CSAC championship in 2019 for the program's first-ever conference title. The 2020 CSAC men's lacrosse season was canceled due to COVID-19. The Ospreys are hopeful for the opportunity to defend their CSAC crown this spring despite the ongoing pandemic.
