NEWPORT NEWS, Va.—The Atlantic 10 announced Friday that it has named 10 women’s rowers to the All-Academic team for 2015. The team was selected by a vote of the league’s rowing media relations directors.
Four rowers that were previously selected for 2015 All-Conference honors were chosen for the All-Academic team, which honors student-athletes for their combined prowess in both the classroom and in the boat.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which finished first and second at the A-10 Championship respectively, each had three student-athletes honored, the most of any school.
