TROY, N.Y. – Liberty League commissioner Tracy King has announced that 948 spring sport student-athletes have qualified for the league's All-Academic Teams in their respective sports, including four members of the Wellesley College golf team. 

"It is with the deepest respect and admiration that I recognize our Liberty League spring sport student-athletes for their academic achievement," said King. "Spring student-athletes had been preparing for their season since September while balancing academics and practices. While the season came to a premature end - even before it began for some teams - our students continue to excel with their academic programs, even from a distance, as the school year comes to a close. For student-athletes graduating this spring, I thank you for all you have done to make our teams, institutions and league among the best in Division III. For student-athletes returning in the fall, continue to persevere and focus on your goals ahead. We'll get through this together."

To be recognized as a member of the Liberty League All-Academic Team a student-athlete must be a sophomore or higher in class standing with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30. Senior Ryan MacVicar (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) earned her third selection in three years for the Blue, while a trio of sophomores earned the honor for the first time. The complete list of Blue honorees can be found below.

Wellesley golf was slated to open the spring season at the Vassar Invitational following a strong fall that saw the Blue finish in the top-five of each tournament the team competed in, including a second-place finish in the team's own Ann S. Batchelder Invitational. 

A member conference of the NCAA's Division III, The Liberty League sponsors championships in 27 sports. The member institutions of the league place the highest priority on the overall quality of the educational experience and on the successful completion of its student-athletes' academic programs. The member institutions seek to establish and maintain an environment in which a student-athlete's athletic activities are conducted as an integral part of the educational experience.
