INDIANAPOLIS (February 23, 2023) – Recognizing student-athletes for their success both in competition and in the classroom, the Horizon League released its 2022-23 Women’s Basketball All-Academic Team on Thursday. Five student-athletes were named to the All-Academic Team while five more were tabbed as honorable mentions in balloting by the League’s faculty athletics representatives.
The All-Academic Team and Honorable Mention Team are comprised of student-athletes from eight League institutions. Detroit Mercy, Green Bay, IUPUI, Milwaukee and Purdue Fort Wayne each placed one student-athlete on the All-Academic Team. Youngstown State placed three student-athletes on the Honorable Mention Team while Cleveland State and Northern Kentucky had one student-athlete earn recognition.
The Horizon League recognizes student-athletes with seasonal Academic All-League Teams in each of its 19 championship sports. To be eligible for Horizon League All-Academic consideration, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade-point-average of 3.20 or higher (based on a 4.00 scale), have completed at least one year at the member institution, having earned 24 semester-hour or 36 quarter-hour credits, and participate in 50 percent of the team’s overall contests or 20 percent of overall contests for pitchers. An Honorable Mention is awarded to student-athletes who received at least 25 percent of votes, but did not make the All-Academic team.
