Each of the nine PL Lacrosse teams averaged 28.67 honorees. (why does AU have women's but not men's lacrosse?) HC players have been hitting the books. Way to go!

why does AU have women's but not men's lacrosse? I imagine that Title IX plays a big part. American’s student body is approximately 62% female, so that is a big factor. In total, AU only has the NCAA minimum of 14 sports, and they have shown No inclination to add more. |

I guess there are other things to do in their sleepy little burg. AU is a fine institution but it's an example of close peers of HC being few and far between.
They are a fine league rival in M&W BB.

Does anyone think that the academic honor roll should be higher than the average GPA. It takes a 3.2 and, while I don't know the average, I think it is higher than that. In fact, it was around 3.2 forty years ago when I was a student.

I have an idea. Why not put patches on the uniforms of all our teams for players who made the PL honor roll? I bet no one's thought of that yet.
FWIW, I believe "honor roll" in the late 60s was 3.5 which was a B+ average and there was no such thing a A+ or A-.
D = 1.0
D+= 1.5
C = 2.0
C+= 2.5
B = 3.0
B+= 3.5
A = 4.0

What was an Honor Roll ?
There was certainly no conference honor roll.
Or is this tongue in cheek ?

Minus grades were introduced during my time there. IIRC, the theory was that most schools had plusses and minues so a B+ was 3.3 and graduate schools were converting HC B plusses to 3.3. |
