HAMBURG, N.Y. - Academic Honors continue to headline the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) spotlight on day four of the NCAA Division III Week.
Mount Aloysius College leads the 2025 academic all-conference team with 66.37% of their athletes qualifying, earning the Institutional Peak Performer Award for a league-record fifth time.
Their percentage of student-athletes qualifying for academic all-conference honors is also an AMCC record.
The Mounties also captured three Team Peak Performer awards (baseball, women's lacrosse, men's soccer), which recognizes the team with the highest collective cumulative GPA in each sport.
Penn State Behrend was a mere three-hundredths of a percentage point behind Mount Aloysius, with a 66.34% qualifying. The Lions earned Team Peak Performer recognition in the sports of men's basketball and men's tennis. Last year's IPP award winner, Carlow University, placed third (65.24%) with five programs--women's soccer, women's volleyball, women's cross country, men's golf, and women's basketball--earning their respective sports' highest academic distinction.
Across the conference, 1,123 student-athletes achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher as of the Fall 2024 semester, earning the academic all-conference honors.
Seventy percent (781) of those individuals were tabbed Individual Peak Performers for earning a GPA of 3.5 or higher. A special subset of those student-athletes were also selected for induction to Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Student-Athlete Honor Society, which recognizes both academic performance, leadership and character for selected juniors and seniors
Hilbert is pleased to announce that 113 student-athletes earned a spot on the AMCC Academic All-Conference team and 72 of those Hawks attained a 3.5 or higher.
Within this group of high-achieving Hilbert student-athletes, 33 Hawks will be inducted into the
New York Theta Chapter of the Chi Alpha Sigma National Collegiate Student-Athlete Academic Honor Society this April. This honor recognizes academic performance, leadership, and character among juniors and seniors who carry a 3.5 cumulative grade point average. These 33 student-athletes will join 13 senior classmates who were induced in 2024.
