NEW YORK - The BIG EAST Conference has announced the names of more than 2,000 student-athletes who have been selected to the 2016-17 All-Academic Team, and a total of 45 student-athletes from Temple's field hockey and lacrosse teams have earned the honor for the past school year. The Owls are associate members of the conference in both sports.

Nominations for the All-Academic Team are submitted by each of the BIG EAST's 10 member and nine affiliate institutions. To be eligible for the honor, a nominee must have competed in a BIG EAST sponsored sport, attained a minimum grade-point average of 3.00 for the preceding academic year, and completed a minimum of two consecutive semesters or three consecutive quarters of academic work, with a total of 18 semester or 27 quarter credits, not including remedial courses.

The nominations are reviewed and approved by the BIG EAST Academic Affairs Committee. There are 2,501 honorees for the 2016-17 academic year, the most in the four years since conference realignment. The BIG EAST honored 2,091 in 2013-14; 2,197 in 2014-15 and 2,330 in 2015-16. Georgetown led all schools with 3987 student-athletes recognized. Villanova led last year with 302, and came in second behind Georgetown this year with 320. The Hoyas had led the league in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
