Men’s Lacrosse Places 29 On SoCon Academic Honor Roll

RICHMOND, Va. – The University of Richmond placed 29 student-athletes on the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll for the 2018-19 academic year, the league office announced Wednesday. These honorees are in addition to the seven Spiders that earned Academic All-Conference honors Tuesday.

The academic honor roll originated in 1988-89, when SoCon athletic directors established the award as a way to recognize the league's outstanding student-athletes. The academic honor roll consists of student-athletes who participated in varsity sports and posted a 3.0 grade point average or higher for the academic year, were eligible the entire academic year and were members of the final squad lists. The award is different from the academic all-conference award, announced Tuesday, which is determined by cumulative GPA and involves a participation requirement.

Getting the honors for the Spiders in 2018-19 include:

Tim Adams, So., Pre-Business
John Armistead, Fr., Pre-Business
Matt Binnion, So., Business Administration
Devin Callahan, Jr., Business Administration
Andrew Caples, Fr., Pre-Business

Additionally, four student-athletes were awarded the Commissioner's Medal for a GPA of 3.8 or higher during the year in Callahan, Goodman, Randall and Reynolds. Reynolds also picked up a special accolade with a certificate for a perfect 4.0 for the academic year.

The Southern Conference awarded a league-record 2,243 student-athletes from the 10 member institutions and 16 associate members earning the distinction. Of the 2,243 student-athletes on the list, 517 earned the Commissioner's Medal, awarded to student-athletes who attain a GPA of 3.8 or higher throughout the year. This year's total is the second-most since that standard rose from 3.5 beginning in 2015-16, trailing only last year's 526.
