LOCK HAVEN, Pa. — Concluding the first academic year of announcing Academic All-Conference Teams, 27 Warriors were recognized by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) at the end of their spring seasons.
Teams that were eligible for the Spring 2026 team are baseball, softball, men's and women's track & field, women's lacrosse, men's and women's golf, and men's and women's tennis. ESU led the PSAC in both fall and winter seasons, finishing the year with 71 Academic All-Conference student-athletes.
In its inaugural year, the awards program was created to increase academic recognition for high-achieving student-athletes, which was a priority for the Conference's membership highlighted in
its most recent Strategic Plan. The Academic All-Conference teams have been adopted with the following requirements:
- Undergraduate and Graduate Student-Athletes must have completed four semesters academically at the nominating campus with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).
- Student-athletes must have met a minimum of participation requirements. For team sport selections, this includes playing in 70% of a team's contests (through the conference championship date) For individual sports, there are unique participation requirements that are detailed in this document.
Recognition is based solely on meeting the above criteria. GPAs were calculated through the previous completed semester (Fall 2025). In total, 382 student-athletes across all 17 PSAC institutions qualified for the Spring 2026 PSAC Academic All-Conference Teams.
