AMERICA EAST
Now in its fourth decade of operation, America East

broad-based, competitive athletics programs, complementing
the academic integrity and missions of the
member institutions.
Progressive in its approach to its more than 3,400
student-athletes, America East recognizes champions
in each of its 20 sports: baseball, men's and women's
basketball, men's and women's cross country, field
hockey, men's and women's indoor track and field,
men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's outdoor
track and field, men's and women's soccer, softball,
men's and women's swimming and diving, men's
and women's tennis, and women’s volleyball. America
East also conducts the nation’s most comprehensive
academic recognition program for student-athletes.
PATRICK NERO
America East Commissioner
With a geographic footprint covering the Mid-Atlantic to Northeast regions of the United States,
America East strives to develop champions in academics, athletics and leadership at its nine
member institutions: University at Albany, Binghamton University, Boston University, University of
Hartford, University of Maine, UMBC, University of New Hampshire, Stony Brook University and
University of Vermont.
ACADEMICS…
• Vermont captured its sixth straight America East Academic Cup in 2010 after its studentathletes
registered a cumulative 3.19 grade-point average, which was the best mark in
the award’s 15-year history. New Hampshire recorded a 3.16 GPA and also eclipsed
the former standard, while five other schools earned a 3.0 GPA or better.
• America East’s 3,400 student-athletes registered a combined 3.05 GPA during the
2009-10 academic year and over 60 percent of them were named to America East’s
Academic Honor Roll for recording GPA’s of 3.0 or better.
• Seven student-athletes were tabbed ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans
during the 2009-10 season, the league’s most since the 2005-06 academic year.
Twenty others were All-District selections.
• Binghamton’s Sven Vloedgraven (tennis) and Vermont’s May Kotsopoulos (basketball)
were the America East Male and Female Scholar-Athletes of the Year, respectively.
• Twenty-four America East teams were publicly recognized by the NCAA for their multiyear
Academic Progress Rate (APR), for finishing among the top 10 percent of teams in
the nation, the league’s most since 2006.
ATHLETICS…
• Boston University won the Stuart P. Haskell, Jr. Commissioner’s Cup for the fifth straight
year and eighth time in the last nine years after capturing a league-high tying six championships,
three regular-season titles and three runner-up finishes during the 2009-10
