Cleveland, Ohio – A department-record total of 115 student-athletes from Le Moyne College have earned the Division II Athletic Directors Association (D2 ADA) Academic Achievement Award for the 2020-21 academic year, as announced by the Division II Athletics Directors Association.

Overall, a record 16,262 Division II student-athletes from 188 institutions were recognized with Academic Achievement Awards. Le Moyne was one of 10 Northeast-10 Conference institutions to have student-athletes recognized by the D2 ADA. Across the conference, 1,181 student-athletes were honored, the third-highest conference total in the country (trailing the PSAC and the Great Lakes Valley Conference). Le Moyne's total increased by 32 from last year and is the highest in the department's history, eclipsing the previous record of 104 from the 2015-16 academic year.

In order for a student-athlete to receive an Academic Achievement Award, which is in its 14th year, they must have recorded a cumulative grade-point average of 3.5 or higher through at least four collegiate semesters and have been an active member of a varsity athletic program during his/her last academic year.
 
In late-June, a program record-tying 287 Le Moyne student-athletes were named to the Northeast-10 Conference Academic Honor Roll for the spring 2021 semester.
