\n“We are proud of our players for the hard work and commitment they show in the classroom,” head coach Keri Sanchez<\/a> said. “They have high aspirations both on and off the field and their dedication to academics is exceptional. As part of our championship culture, accountability in the classroom is a priority and it is great to see the success they are earning.”<\/p>\n

Recent graduates Alexis Wessler<\/a> and Alex Sandoval<\/a> each received the award for the fifth time. Wessler and Sandoval finished their collegiate careers with a degree in organismal biology & ecology.
