LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) announced its Winter Academic All-Conference Teams for 2025-26 which included eighth West Chester University Golden Rams.
West Chester's contingent consisted of three student-athletes from both the men's and women's swimming teams that took home a conference championship for the fifth consecutive year, and one each from the men's and women's basketball teams. West Chester's honored student-athletes are listed below.
In its inaugural year, the awards program was created to increase academic recognition for high-achieving student-athletes – which was a priority for the Conference's membership. The Academic All-Conference teams have been adopted with the following requirements:
- Undergraduate and Graduate Student-Athletes must have completed four semesters academically at the nominating campus with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).
- Student-athletes must have met a minimum of participation requirements. For team sport selections, this includes playing in 70% of a team's contests (through the conference championship date.) For individual sports, there are unique participation requirements that are detailed in this document.
Recognition is based solely on meeting the above criteria. GPAs were calculated through the previous completed semester (Fall 2025).
In total, 121 student-athletes across all 17 PSAC institutions qualified for the Winter 2025-26 PSAC Academic All-Conference Teams.
*Note about Indoor Track & Field: only one Academic All-Conference award for Track & Field will be announced after the conclusion of the Outdoor Championship in the spring but will include ANY athletes who achieved academic and athletic requirements in either the Indoor or Outdoor season.
