Conference-High 410 Bentley Student-Athletes Qualify for the NE10 Academic Honor Roll
WALTHAM, Mass. – 410 Bentley University student-athletes, a conference high, qualified for the spring 2023 Northeast-10 Academic Honor Roll by achieving a grade point average of 3.0 or better during the semester.
The 410 honorees accounted for 82.7 percent of Bentley's student-athletes who competed in NE10 sports, second only to Pace University's 83.3 percent.
This marks the 27th time in the 28 semesters that the NE10 has been recognizing the Academic Honor Roll (formerly Commissioner's Honor Roll) that Bentley has had the most honorees. It's also the 27th time in 28 semesters that Bentley's percentage ranked in the conference's top three.
"The achievements of our student-athletes continues to be remarkable," said Director of Athletics Vaughn Williams. "I am grateful for their commitment in the classroom."
The Northeast-10 splits its Academic Honor Roll into three categories: Academic Excellence for those with a 4.0, Academic Distinction for those between 3.50 and 3.99, and Academic Honors for those between 3.00 and 3.49. Thirteen Falcons received Academic Excellence, a conference-best 240 Academic Distinction and 157 Academic Honors.
Earning Academic Excellence were Hailey Bardorf (women's lacrosse), Cam Bartolomeo (men's lacrosse), Cory Bright (baseball), Evan Desjardins (golf), Cole Duval (men's track and cross country), Bri Gillen (women's basketball), Aidan Hopkins (women's soccer), Caitlin Keenan (women's lacrosse), Corinne Messier (women's soccer), Britney Pearson (field hockey), Taylor White (women's swimming), A.J. Worsley (football) and Christian Zarka (men's soccer).
Bright, Keenan, Messier, Pearson and Zarka also achieved Academic Excellence during the fall 2022 semester.
The women's lacrosse, soccer and volleyball teams had 100 percent representation on the NE10 Academic Honor Roll.
In addition, women's basketball, softball and swimming all had at least 90 percent on the Academic Honor Roll.
