Golf's Hoover Named to MASCAC All-Academic Team
NEW LONDON, Conn. -- Mitchell College senior Jared Hoover was honored by the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference on Thursday as a selection to the league's Fall/Winter 2020 All-Academic Team.
Hoover was the lone member of the Mitchell golf team–which competes in the MASCAC as an affiliate member–to earn the distinction. Student-athletes must maintain a 3.20 cumulative or semester-based grade point average during the semester to be eligible for selection to the Fall/Winter All-Academic Team.
"Congratulations to the 1,238 student-athletes who were named to the 2020 MASCAC Fall/Winter All-Academic team," Commissioner Angela Baumann said. "This has been a tremendously challenging time for our student-athletes. I am so proud that they not only persevered and continued their academic success in the classroom but the team increased over the number from last year's team."
