NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - La Salle has placed 215 student-athletes on the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll for the Fall 2011 semester, the league office announced today.

The 125 student-athletes is the most-ever added to the Honor Roll by La Salle.  The number is also the second-highest in the conference, behind UMass' 128 student-athletes.

It is also a record-breaking semester for the A-10.  1,348 student-athletes in total were represented on the Honor Roll, the highest number to achieve the distinction since 2007. 

“We pride ourselves on the academic success stories in the Atlantic 10,” said league Commissioner Bernadette V. McGlade. “To have over 1,300 student-athletes achieve a 3.5 GPA or better for the second straight semester, and to have the Fall 2011 total be a record is a testament to our student-athletes and our member institutions. The commitment they have made to succeeding academically is apparent.”

To be listed on the Commissioner's Honor Roll, a student-athlete in an Atlantic 10-sponsored sport must have a 3.5 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale) during the specified semester. Freshmen are eligible to receive the award.
