SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Three hundred and fifty-four student-athletes–including 12 from Connecticut Colleg–have been selected to the 2025 New England Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (NEILA) All-Academic Teams, announced by the organization late last week.

Members of the teams are nominated by head coaches in Divisions I, II and III, and are student-athletes who have excelled both in the classroom and on the field over the course of their men's lacrosse career. Earning the honor for the Camels were Patrick Atkins, Zach Bucher, JJ Ford, Aidan Gaudet, Declan Kuhn, Aidan McAvoy, Nick McLaughlin, Myles Newport, Colter Lingelbach-Pierce, Cole Ronan, Will Vivian and Gus Williams. 

Overall, 59 different colleges and universities were represented across all three divisions. Endicott led Division III with 15 selections, followed by defending national champions Tufts University and Salve Regina University with 14 student-athletes apiece honored. In total, 226 Division III players representing 39 different institutions made an appearance on this year's squads.

Nominees must have a senior or graduate student standing with no eligibility remaining or plans to use their eligibility in New England, a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale, and be an impact player for their team.
