The team won its first PSAC Championship in 35 years and saw its highest overall team QPA since records have been kept. Even more impressive is the fact that Spering’s teams have seen their overall QPA continue to climb since then. In 2013-14, the men’s soccer team had the highest QPA of any men’s team – an impressive 3.20. SU Men’s Soccer won addi- tional Team Academic Awards in three of the past four springs. Many of Spering’s players have learned, first hand, that a commitment to excellence is about character and a way of life.

Wrestling If you ask head coach Seth Bloomquist about his thoughts on how a coach can support his team toward classroom excellence, you will get a very clear and well thought out response. In essence, Coach Bloomquist believes that wres- tling supplements the student-athlete’s experi- ence as a student en-route to earning a degree. Coach Bloomquist, since taking the position of head wrestling coach, has re-emphasized his philosophy. After the 2017-18 season, junior David Reagan and sophomore Cole Rush were named to the NWCA Division II All-Academic Team. Reagan was also named the 2017 PSAC Champion Scholar.

* Shippensburg is one of two schools in league history to win both Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards in the same calendar year.

* The PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athlete of the Year Awards are pre- sented to the top student-athletes who have achieved at least a 3.50 cu- mulative grade point average while competing at an outstanding athletic level. Student-athletes must have been recognized as a conference Fall, Winter or Spring Top Ten Award Winner to be eligible for the honor. The Scholar-Athletes of the Year are chosen by the league’s sports infor- mation directors and were renamed in 2007 to honor East Stroudsburg’s long-time sports information director, Pete Nevins, who passed away earlier that year. Nevins held his position at ESU for 33 years and it is estimated that he wrote articles on more than 12,000 ESU events that covered more than 5,000 student-athletes.

ELITE 90 AWARD WINNERS

The Elite 90 award was founded by the NCAA in 2009 to recognize the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers. It is presented to one student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average at the finals site for each of the NCAA’s 90 champion- ships. Shippensburg University women’s field hockey senior Kristen Brooks was a recipient of the NCAA’s ‘Elite 88’ award at the 2010 Division II Field Hockey Championships. Brooks, who graduated in May with a 3.98 cumula- tive quality-point average in management and marketing, became the first athlete in all divisions of the NCAA to receive two Elite 88 awards in the same sport.
