IRVINE, Calif. - For the third year in a row, Concordia University Irvine featured at least 150 student-athletes who qualified for the annual D2ADA Academic Achievement Award list.

Organized by the Division 2 Athletics Directors Association every summer, this tradition honors NCAA DII student-athletes that meet the following requirements:
- Hold a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher
- Have attended a minimum of two years (four semesters) of college level work (freshmen are ineligible)
- Are an active member of an intercollegiate team during the past academic year (to clarify - this means actively on the team's roster for the 24-25 school year)

The list included student-athletes from all NCAA DII programs at CUI, including the 13 teams that competed last year in the PacWest as well as our beach volleyball and men's volleyball teams, and both water polo squads and swimming and diving teams. (CUI women's lacrosse plays at the club level and thus not eligible for this award).

A total of 152 Golden Eagles made the cut, with ten making it in both cross country and also track and field as distance runners. CUI joined Biola as the only two PacWest schools to boast at least 150 honorees in the league.

This is the sixth straight summer that Concordia has featured at least 100 young men and women on this prestigious list.

CUI women's track and field had the most among the school's sports with 19 student-athletes this year. CUI baseball sported 15 D2 ADA honorees while the women's soccer team equaled that mark with 15 players that qualified as well.
