Representing the men's basketball program, Liam Craven and Cole Chapman earned recognition following strong seasons on the court while maintaining success in the classroom. Craven, a sport management major from Brantford, Ontario, Canada, and Chapman, a biology major from Beaver, West Virginia, were among the Golden Bears honored in the winter sports cycle.
On the women's basketball side, Cadence Stewart, Avery Lucas and Alexis Sexton were selected to the Academic All-District® Team.
