PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Scarlet Knights continue to excel in the classroom, proven this week as the Big Ten Conference recognized 26 Rutgers men's lacrosse student-athletes on the 2020 Spring Academic All-Big Ten list. The mark was the second most among Big Ten men's lacrosse teams.

Adam Charalambides earned the accolade for the fifth time in his career, one of 15 student-athletes to have earned multiple academic all-conference honors. Six student-athletes (Brodie Gillespie, Owen Mead, Kieran Mullins, Sam Oltmans, Mark Schachte and Jack Thompson) were recognized for a third time. Eight student-athletes (Garrett Bullett, Zackary Franckowiak, Ryan Gallagher, Jaryd Jean-Felix, Zach Masessa, Jordan Pakzad, Michael Sanguinetti and David Walker) were honored for the second time.

The team had 16 student-athletes named to the Dean's List. The team's cumulative spring GPA was 3.47 and the team's cumulative GPA to this point is 3.3.

The 26 Academic All-Big Ten selections is a program record since joining the conference, improving on last year's mark of 24. In the six years as a Big Ten member, Rutgers has earned 115 Academic All-Big Ten selections, setting records each of the last four years. To be eligible for Academic All-Big Ten selection, students must have been enrolled fulltime at the institution for a minimum of 12 months and carry a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.

"Despite the obstacles presented during the spring semester, our student-athletes rose to the challenge to excel and set records in the classroom," said Director of Athletics Pat Hobbs. "We are extremely proud of their diligent work and their commitment to academic excellence."
