Marauder Student-Athletes Winning in the Classroom For the fourth year in a row, more than 100 Millersville student-athletes earned PSAC Scholar-Athlete recognition for excellence in the classroom. To be recognized, a student-athlete must produce a minimum 3.0 GPA during the school year. A total of 117 Marauders hit the mark—30 percent of the student-athletes competing at Millersville. The percentage of scholarathletes honored has increased each year since 2007-08. The 30 percent number is Millersville’s highest since percentages started being tracked in 1999-2000. Millersville was represented by 80 women and 37 men. On the women’s side, cross country and track and field combined for 18 honorees. Field hockey totaled 12, and of the 15 players on the volleyball team’s roster, 12 were named as scholar-athletes. Nine players on softball’s 13-woman roster were also
honored. The top percentage on the men’s side belongs to the tennis team, which totaled five scholar-athletes. Individually, men’s tennis senior Drew Slocum was one of 10 spring sport athletes to win the prestigious PSAC Top 10 Award. The PSAC Top 10 Awards, which are selected by the PSAC’s sports information directors, recognize studentathletes who have achieved a minimum 3.50 cumulative GPA. The student-athlete must also be a starter or key reserve with legitimate athletic credentials. Only five men and five women from the entire spring season are honored. Slocum graduated in May with a bachelor’s degree in biology. He posted a 3.86 GPA during his Millersville career and was a four-time PSAC Scholar-Athlete. In the spring, he was named Capital One Academic All-District 2 First Team.
