ADA — The Ohio Northern Men's Swimming & Diving team was named a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.

To be selected as a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team, programs must have achieved a grade point average of 3.00 or higher over the Spring Semester.

The Polar Bears concluded the spring semester with a team GPA of 3.11.

Nearly 70% of all NCAA swimming and diving programs earned GPA's of 3.0 or higher during the
Spring Semester including 83% of all Division I schools. The announcement comes on the heels
of a NCAA report on the Academic Progress Rate of Division I sports. That report showed that
Division I men's and women's swimming and diving teams posted the second highest Academic
Progress Rates (APR) among those sports with fifty or more teams.

Sophomore Eric Chen and freshmen Gabe Dauch and Thomas Golba earned indivdual Scholar All-America honors.

To be selected to the CSCAA Scholar All-America Team, swimmers and divers must have
achieved a grade point average of 3.50 or higher and have participated in their respective
NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Honorable Mention selections have
similarly achieved a GPA of 3.50 and achieved a "B" time standard or competed at their
respective qualifying meets.

Northern finished the season 7-2 and finished first in the OAC with a mark of 4-0.
