Siena Athletics Achieves Another Record-Setting Year Academically

New Benchmark 242 Student Athletes Earn MAAC Academic Honor Roll Recognition

LOUDONVILLE, NY – The Siena College Athletic Department punctuated another outstanding record-setting 2022-23 school year academically by achieving a new benchmark for Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll selections for a sixth consecutive year. A new school-record 242 student athletes earned recognition from the conference for achieving a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20 or better.
 
"The Siena education isn't something you get, it's something you do – and I am inspired by just how well our student athletes continue to do year after year," said Siena College President Chuck Seifert, Ph.D. "Setting academic records is an accomplishment and two years in a row could be coincidence. But, when the number of Siena student athletes on the MAAC Academic Honor Roll increases for a sixth consecutive year? That's a badge of honor for our department and a credit to the culture that's been established. More than anything, it's a tribute to our student athletes, their character, and their unwavering commitment to the Siena education."
 
Siena Athletics once again set new department records during the 2022-23 school year for the total number of MAAC Academic Honor Roll selections, the percentage of student athletes named to the MAAC Academic Honor Roll, overall student athlete cumulative grade-point average, and the total number of Saints who achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA during either or both the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters. Additionally, Siena Athletics matched the department's highest graduation success rate in nine years, and had six programs post perfect multi-year academic progress rate scores which was tied for the most in the MAAC.
 
"Congratulations to our Saints on yet another record-setting year academically," said Vice President and Director of Athletics John D'Argenio. "We are incredibly proud of the overall outstanding success that our student athletes have continued to achieve in the classroom, which reflects both their hard work and the personal priority that they put on their academics. Thank you to our coaches for continuing to recruit gifted individuals who excel not only on the field but also in the classroom and in our Siena community, and to our S.A.IN.T.S. Office for working diligently towards fulfilling our mission to Build Better Saints by providing our student athletes with the tools necessary to achieve their full potential."
 
Siena Athletics set a new department record for the sixth consecutive school year with 242 MAAC Academic Honor Roll selections, which marked an increase of eight student athletes from last year, and more than 40% growth since 2017-18 (171 total honorees). An additional nine members of the Siena College E-Sports team, which is recognized as an official MAAC club sport, were also named to the MAAC Academic Honor Roll. The men's lacrosse program once again led all of Siena's 21 Division I athletic programs with a total of 28 MAAC Academic Honor Roll selections for the second straight year, while women's lacrosse boasted 24 honorees, and men's cross country/track and women's swimming and diving each recorded 21.
 
Moreover, a new standard was also set featuring 68% of Siena's 356 student athletes during the 2022-23 academic year achieving MAAC Academic Honor Roll status for maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or greater, which marked a 3% increase from the previous year, and a 16% improvement since 2017-18. The entire nine-member women's tennis team earned MAAC Academic Honor Roll acclaim, while 91% of women's cross country/track and 89% of the women's lacrosse roster was honored.  
 
"We are so proud of our student athletes for the academic milestones that they continue to surpass and the records they continue to set," said S.A.IN.T.S. Advisor Sarah Sivertson. "I'm grateful for the culture that our department has established around high achievement in the classroom, and look forward to working with our Saints to continue to raise the bar in the years to come."  
 
The MAAC Academic Honor Roll data is a by-product of the record-setting GPA achieved by Siena student athletes this past school year. Siena College's 356 student athletes collectively maintained a stellar 3.40 cumulative GPA through the conclusion of the 2022-23 academic year, which is a three-point improvement from 2020-21, and a 21-point increase over the past six years. A new benchmark of 69 Saints accrued a perfect 4.0 GPA during either or both the Fall 2022 and Spring 2023 semesters, including an additional record 23 who posted an unblemished GPA both terms. The women's tennis team once again led all Siena Athletics programs with a 3.69 cumulative GPA, followed closely by women's lacrosse (3.65), women's cross country/track (3.64), and women's soccer (3.64).
 
"Achieving MAAC Academic Honor Roll status is an extraordinary accomplishment. That should not be forgotten as so many of our student athletes routinely clear a very high academic bar," said Provost Margaret Madden, Ph.D. "Honor roll is a mark of distinction, and it is exhilarating to see records for academic achievement broken every year. I'm particularly awed by the 69 student athletes in the 4.0 Club. Even as academic records continue to be bested each year, that is still a stunning feat and a massive credit to the students, their coaches, and our faculty."
 
Additional 2022-23 Siena Athletics academic highlights included a new record 23 Saints named Arthur Ashe, Jr. Sports Scholars, a pair of student athletes earning MAAC postgraduate scholarships, and numerous student athletes and teams both earning and setting records respective to MAAC, regional, and national academic honors. Siena Athletics continues to put an important emphasis on academic success as a key pillar in the mission towards "Building Better Saints," which has been aided by the launch of the Bob Guido '68 Athletic Academic Center in the Spring of 2022.
