The Great Northeast Athletic Conference recognized 501 student-athletes from 15 league sports on the 2009 Great Northeast Athletic Conference Academic All-Conference Team.

Simmons boasted 38 athletes who received the honor, and all seven of the Simmons varsity programs sponsored by the GNAC were represented on this year's Academic All-Conference team.

Second-year student-athletes from all 13 member institutions who hold a cumulative 3.25 (on a 4.0 scale) grade point average for the 2008-2009 academic school year and are a member of a varsity team are eligible.

"We are truly proud of our student-athletes' Great Northeast Athletic Conference honors," said Director of Athletics Ali Kantor. "Each athlete manages challenging academic curriculum, demanding athletic team commitments, clinical and internship responsibilities and succeeds in all areas. These women are outstanding ambassadors of our institution, and are, no doubt, the leaders of tomorrow."
