2020-21 CCAA Winter Academic Honor Roll (.pdf) >>>
An impressive 96 men's and women's basketball competitors from across the conference were honored for their work in the classroom as members of the 2020-21 CCAA Winter Academic Honor Roll. 

Previously named the Winter All-Academic Team, Honor Roll distinction is given to student-athletes who are a sophomore in academic standing with a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.3. The standard requirement of competing in a conference-sponsored sport has been waived for 2020-21, as honorees must be a member of their team in good standing. Awards are based on complete academic year grades, providing a more robust representation of classroom success throughout the year. 

Although the requirement for distinction is a 3.3 cumulative gpa, more than 70 percent of the men and women honored hold at least a 3.5 in their respective studies. At an even more stringent minimum of 3.8, 26 individuals make the grade. 

"Despite the challenging year away from the court for our student-athletes in 2020-21, they were able to effectively channel their energy into their academic pursuits," noted CCAA commissioner Mitch Cox. "I applaud not only the students, but also want to recognize the tremendous job done by the coaches and support staff at all our member institutions during the last academic year. I couldn't be more proud of these 96 men and women."

A total of 11 student-athletes have earned distinction in each year of eligibility for selection with the Cal State East Bay women's basketball trio of Morgan Greene, Madison Schiller and Faith Turner joined by the Stanislaus State threesome of Kyanna Davis, Caitlin Keding and Kaleigh Tayler.

Humboldt State men's basketball player Victor Mijas has also earned distinction on three occasions. 

By school, Cal State East Bay leads the way for the third straight season boasting 14 men and women on the Winter Honor Roll as the Pioneers make up 14.6 percent of the total award recipients. Also reaching the double-digit tally is Cal State Dominguez Hills with 10 winners, a 150 percent increase from a year ago.

The CCAA recognizes individuals academically per season – fall, winter, and spring – for all CCAA sponsored sports. The CCAA Winter Academic Honor Roll consists of eligible student-athletes who compete in the sports of men's and women's basketball.

Coming soon, the Spring Academic Honor Roll consists of student-athletes from men's and women's golf, men's and women's track and field, softball and baseball. A record tally of 478 student-athletes were already recognized on the Fall Academic Honor Roll, celebrating those eligible competitors in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer and volleyball.
