EASTON, Pa. - Andrew Ruck's 4.0 GPA leads a roster of 14 student-athletes from the Lafayette baseball team that have been named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll. To be eligible, student-athletes must have earned a 3.20 grade-point average for the spring 2012 semester.
Ruck, a rising senior majoring in Mechanical Engineering, was one of just two Patriot League baseball student-athletes to merit a perfect 4.0 grade-point average.
Four recent graduates capped their careers as members of the Academic Honor Roll. Brian Davila '12, who recently received a degree in Economics & Business, posted a 3.57 grade-point average this spring to complete a four-year sweep of Academic Honor Roll nods. Mechanical Engineering graduate Chris Boyce '12 adds an Academic Honor Roll selection to his spot on the Academic All-Patriot League team with a 3.83 GPA. Ethan Perro '12 (Government & Law, 3.33 GPA) and Jeff Snell '12 (International Affairs/Spanish, 3.33) joined their classmates on the Honor Roll.
