The College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) announced the Scholar All-America Team for this past season.  Once again, Fordham was honored with both the men's and women's swimming & diving teams, receiving Scholar All-America Team status.  This is the 11th consecutive year that both squads have been on the Scholar All-America team. 
 
Instituted during the 2003-04 academic year, the criteria for the Scholar All-American Team award is given to a team competing at the NCAA, NAIA, or junior college levels, and maintains a GPA of a 3.0 or better.  The GPA includes all athletes who competed in any competition during the course of the season.
 
The Fordham men's team had a GPA of 3.24, ranking them tied for 21^st overall out of the 71 teams that qualified.
 
The Fordham women's team posted a 3.29 team GPA, which put them tied for 103^rd overall, making them one of 141 schools honored. 
 
Fordham joined fellow Atlantic 10 schools, George Washington, Davidson, and La Salle to have both teams honored.  The women's teams from Richmond, Duquesne, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts were the other Atlantic 10 teams listed.
 
"This has been a team-oriented goal that our kids always strive for ever since the CSCAA instituted it," said head coach Steve Potsklan.  "We are extremely proud of our student-athletes for the work they do not just in the pool, but in the classroom."
 
Founded in 1922, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America is the oldest professional organization of college coaches in America.  The CSCAA is dedicated to serving and providing leadership for the advancement of the sport of swimming and diving at the collegiate level.
