BURNSVILLE, MINN. – It was quite the impressive fall season for the St. Cloud State University athletics department. However, the Huskies didn't just excel in competition during the 2019 fall season but in the classroom as well, as 53 St. Cloud State student-athletes were recognized as members of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Fall Academic Team Tuesday afternoon.

The 53 fall honorees are the most for the Huskies since St. Cloud State joined the NSIC in 2007 and the most since 44 student-athletes were honored last year. In fact, members of all four teams that competed in the fall, including women's cross country, football, women's soccer and volleyball had student-athletes named to the NSIC's Fall-Academic Team.

To be eligible for the academic team, a student-athlete must be a member of the varsity travel team and have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.20 or higher. Additionally, student-athletes must be of sophomore, junior or senior academic and athletic standing and completed one full academic year at the institution. In total, 739 student-athletes across the conference earned the honor, including the 44 student-athletes from St. Cloud State.

Additionally, 20 of the 44 Huskies were All-Academic Team of Excellence members, a new honor in the NSIC. In order to be a member of the All-Academic Team of Excellence, student-athletes must maintain a GPA of 3.60 or higher during the athletic season. In total, 30 student-athletes from St. Cloud State earned this honor.
