Kutztown University’s Gabrielle Cohen of Jeff Named 2022-23 PSAC Scholar-Athlete

Posted

KUTZTOWN, PA  — It was another outstanding year in the classroom for Kutztown University student-athletes, with 227 being named Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Scholar-Athletes, the league office announced Wednesday afternoon, including Gabrielle Cohen of Jeffersonvlle, NY (12748). The 2022-23 academic year marks the fourth in a row that the Golden Bears have eclipsed the 200 honoree mark.

In order to be eligible for PSAC Scholar-Athlete honors, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25. The conference instituted a new policy this year, honoring athletes meeting the academic requirement in only PSAC sponsored sports. This change directly affected Kutztown’s acrobatics & tumbling and women’s bowling teams, which do not compete under the PSAC banner. 

Acrobatics & tumbling is part of the National Collegiate Acrobatics & Tumbling Association (NCATA) and does not have a conference affiliation, while women’s bowling is an associate member of the East Coast Conference (ECC). Bowlers are eligible to be named to the ECC Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which is usually released in late July.

Previous recipients were also affected from various sports that the PSAC doesn’t sponsor at other institutions, resulting in a drop of overall honorees across the conference’s 18 institutions to 3,795. The percentage of honorees among all student-athletes remained consistent at 52% (3,794-of-7,319) compared to last year’s 53%.
