#5 | Royals See 111 Student-Athletes Recognized with Academic All-Conference Accolades
The Royals were doing work on and off the field this past season. Bethel saw a school record 111 student-athletes earn Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) Academic All-Conference accolades. The MIAC recognized 45 Royals during the fall and 66 from the winter and spring teams.
To be eligible for Academic All-MIAC selection, students must be in at least their second academic year at their institution and carry a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher while participating in 50 percent of the team's overall varsity regular-season contests. Cross country student-athletes are required to finish in the overall top 100 or their team's top seven at the 2018 MIAC Cross Country Championship. The winter/spring team sports eligible include baseball, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's hockey, softball and men's and women's tennis. In addition, baseball pitchers who made five appearances or completed 20 innings pitched were eligible, as were hockey goalies who played in one-third (33.3 percent) of their team's total minutes played for the regular season.
