COSTA MESA -- The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation announced the first All-Academic Team for the sport in MPSF history this month and the Lions were awarded nine members across both programs.

To be selected, an individual must have a 3.00 or higher cumulative GAP, be at least a sophomore academically, have completed one full academic year at their institution, and have participated in fifty percent or more of the team's competitions.
