Twelve members of the St. Lawrence University Esports program earned National Esports Collegiate Conference (NECC) Academic All-Conference honors.

Senior Elwyn Hand and juniors Caden Truscio and Erik Schneider were joined by sophomores James Fry, Claire McFarland, Skylar Deitz, Braden Chastanet, and first years Joshua Kobayashi, Lola Caruso, AJ DiFranco, Perrin Dulmer and Spencer Kavanaugh.

"Having 12 of our student-athletes be recognized for their dedication inside the classroom is a strong step in the right direction for our program," said Esports coordinator Kadin DeRuijter. "It emulates the power that good fundamental leadership, communication, and initiative have on pencil and paper. Now that we know where we are, we can focus on the future."

In total, 479 student-athletes representing 39 different NECC member institutions were recognized for their outstanding academic accomplishments.
