BURNSVILLE, Minn. - The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) has announced the 2017-18 NSIC Winter All-Academic Team with 29 Concordia-St. Paul student-athletes earning the honor.

The mark is just one shy of last year, when the 2016-17 Golden Bears had a 50 percent increase of 2015-16 to reach 30. Notable increases were with the men's selections, moving from seven last year to 12 this year.

As a whole, the 16-team Northern Sun had an increase of 29 student-athletes earn the honor with 601 reaching the mark in 2017-18 between the sports of men's and women's basketball, women's swimming & diving, men's and women's indoor track & field and wrestling.

To be eligible for this honor, the student-athlete must be a member of the varsity traveling team and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher. Furthermore, the athlete must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at her/his institution (true freshmen, red-shirt freshmen and ineligible athletic transfers are not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at that institution.
