Eight Bears were recognized in the superior category (3.41-3.70), including four-time recipients Maddie DeMattia and Mara Loughlin. Claire Rowell and Jessie Rose qualified for the second straight year, while Elaia Hamilton, Julianne Snyder, Nieve Courtney and Talia Fonseca all made their debuts on the ACWPC All-Academic Team.
