Seniors Hridhika Vora and Emily Liptak, along with sophomore Sohniya Chandra Mohan, were awarded for their achievements in both academics and athletics. To qualify, students must maintain a minimum 3.20 GPA and compete in 50% of their team's events. This honor underscores the importance of balancing sports with academic excellence.

By the Numbers
  • 38 student-athletes from nine institutions made the All-MAC team.
  • Hridhika Vora holds a GPA of 3.437, Emily Liptak has a GPA of 3.24, and Sohniya Chandra Mohan achieved a GPA of 3.723.

The criteria for the Academic All-MAC honor exclude true freshmen and first-year transfers, which limits the opportunities for newer students to be recognized, despite their potential achievements in academics.

State of Play
  • The selection showcases Akron's commitment to excellence in both athletics and academics.
  • The overall competitive landscape includes universities across the MAC, each with students achieving high GPAs.
