NEW YORK βΒ 220 Marquette University student-athletes were named to the 2018-19 BIG EAST All-Academic Team, the BIG EAST Conference announced on Tuesday.
The men's track and field team's 39 representatives led the way for the Golden Eagles, while the women's volleyball team had 12 of its 15 eligible student-athletes listed. The total of 220 is the most Marquette has ever put on the BIG EAST All-Academic Team, topping last year's number of 209. MU had 195 honorees in both 2014 and 2016.
Nominations for the All-Academic Team are submitted by each of the BIG EAST's 10 member and nine affiliate institutions. To be eligible for the honor, a nominee must have competed in a BIG EAST-sponsored sport, attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 for the preceding academic year, and completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters of academic work, with a total of 18 semester or 27 quarter credits, not including remedial courses.
