Skyhawks recognized for 3.47 GPA during first semester in program history
CSCAA Scholar All-America release
EASTON, Mass. (January 26, 2021) – The Stonehill College women's swimming program, under the direction of head coach Caleb Potvin, has made more program history by being named a Scholar All-America squad by the College Swimming & Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) for having a semester grade point average over 3.0 during the fall.
Stonehill, in its first season after being added as the College's 22nd varsity athletic program in September 2019, earned a 3.47 team grade point average during the fall semester. The Skyhawks' seven student-athletes include sophomores Nika Sokolova and Maggie Timmoney and freshmen Maddie Conley, Morgan Gangi, Katie Keating, Sydney Stockwell and Allie Wieland.
Stonehill is one of seven Northeast-10 Conference women's programs honored by the CSCAA and its 3.47 semester GPA ranked third. The Skyhawks are among more than 450 institutions nationwide across all three NCAA divisions, as well as the NAIA, to earn Scholar All-America status. They are also one of seven women's program to earn the honors for the first time, including one of just two from NCAA Division II.
Founded in 1922, the CSCAA, is the nation's first organization of college coaches. The mission of the CSCAA is to advance the sport of swimming and diving with coaches at the epicenter of leadership, advocacy, and professional development.
Stonehill, in conjunction with the NE10, announced in mid-December that it would not participate in intercollegiate athletic competition during the 2020-21 academic year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Skyhawks were able to conduct team activities during the fall semester, and expect to continue to do so this semester, including a pair of intrasquad meets in the fall.
