ROSEMONT, Ill. - The University of Maryland placed 21 student-athletes on the distinguished academic all-conference list, as announced by the Big Ten Wednesday. The Terrapins had representation from each of their four winter teams.
"We are proud of the hard work and dedication our student-athletes continue to display not only in the realm of competition but in the classroom," said director of athletics Kevin Anderson. "It has been an outstanding year both academically and athletically in our inaugural campaign as a member of the Big Ten."
To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, student-athletes must be letterwinners who are in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
