GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Albright Lions baseball team was one of just 146 NCAA Division III programs to be honored with the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award, announced by the organization on Wednesday morning. To qualify, teams must surpass a combined 3.0 GPA on 4.0 scale for the entire 2020-21 academic year.
 
The Lions were one of five teams from the (Middle Atlantic Conference) MAC Commonwealth to make the list along with Hood, Lebanon Valley, Stevenson and York. This is the fourth time in the last five years that Albright has made the cut.
 
As a team, the Lions tallied a 3.31 GPA for the spring semester. Three student-athletes on the team posted a 4.0 GPA in the semester as well. Albright baseball also saw 16 of its members named to the 2021 MAC Spring Academic Honor Roll in late June.
