54 named to Commissioner's Honor Roll
Stony Brook, N.Y. - Stony Brook University had 152 student-athletes recognized by the America East Conference when it announced its 2007-2008 Winter/Spring Honor Roll. Stony Brook's 152 honorees, all of whom earned at least a 3.0 GPA to qualify, were the fifth-highest among conference member schools. In addition, the Seawolves placed 54 student-athletes on the Commissioner's Honor Roll, which required a GPA of 3.5.
Leading the way for Stony Brook were the men's lacrosse and women's swimming & diving teams, which each placed 22 student-athletes on the honor roll. Not far behind was the men's swimming & diving team, placing 21 student-athletes and the women's track & field team, which had 20 honorees.
The spring semester was an exceptional one for Stony Brook both academically and athletically. The Seawolves baseball and softball teams both advanced to the NCAA tournament, senior Dana Hastie (Wellington, New Zealand) made Stony Brook's first appearance in the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships and both the tennis and men's lacrosse teams advanced to America East postseason play.
