Vikings earn spring academic honors

The Big Sky Conference and Pacific Coast Softball Conference each released their lists of academic accolades for the spring sports season, and on those lists appear the names of 28 Portland State student-athletes.

For the second consecutive year, 11 members of the PSU softball team made the Pacific Coast Softball Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which recognizes athletes that earn a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better for the 2009–10 academic year.

The Big Sky Conference, which governs all of PSU’s 12 other sports programs, featured 17 Portland State student-athletes on its list for Academic All-Conference honors. To be eligible, athletes had to maintain a 3.20 GPA or higher and compete in at least half of the team’s competitions.

In total, 65 Portland State student-athletes earned academic honors during the 2009–10 academic year.
