The National Field Hockey Coaches association (NFHCA) and Gladiator have come together to award schools with the 2013 NFHCA Division III National Academic Team Award. Teams are recognized for this award if they have achieved a team GPA of 3.0 or higher during the first semester of the 2013-14 season.

Three state University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) teams have made this prestigious list.  It shows effort that not only do they give it 100% on field but they do the same in the classroom as well. Congratulations to the Geneseo Knights, the SUNY Oneonta Red Dragons and The SUNY New Paltz Hawks for all being great academic athletes.

In addition to teams being honored, individual athletes from our SUNYAC schools have been honored on the National Academic Squad including athletes from SUNY Cortland, Geneseo, New Paltz, SUNY Oneonta, and Morrisville. The National Academic Squad recognizes those student-athletes who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or higher through the first semester of the 2013-14 academic year. Below is the list of SUNYAC athletes who made the squad.

Geneseo's Cathryn Menarchem was also honored by the 2013 Gladiator by SGI / NFHCA Division III Scholars of Distinction for achieving a cumulative GPA of 3.90 or higher through the first semester of the 2013-14 academic year.
