AMCC RELEASE | PEAK PERFORMERS

NORTH BOSTON, N.Y. --- The Carlow University Department of Athletics earned third place as an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Institutional Peak Performer, the league announced Thursday.

The award is bestowed annually upon the AMCC member with the highest percentage of student-athletes named to the academic all-conference team. The Celtics placed third with 65.24 percent of their student-athletes on the team, up from 61.73 percent last season. Carlow student-athletes also captured five Team Peak Performer awards (women's basketball, women's cross country, men's golf, women's soccer and women's volleyball), which recognizes the team with the highest collective cumulative GPA in each sport.

Out of Carlow's entire student-athlete population, 107 earned Academic All-Conference honors. Eighty-six earned Peak Performer (3.5 or higher GPA), and 51 are members of Chi Alpha Sigma, the National Collegiate Student-Athlete Honor Society.

Mount Aloysius College led the 2025 academic all-conference team with 66.37 percent of their athletes qualifying, earning the Institutional Peak Performer Award for a league-record fifth time.

Across the conference, 1,123 student-athletes achieved a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher as of the Fall 2024 semester, earning academic all-conference honors.

Seventy percent (781) of those individuals were tabbed Individual Peak Performers for earning a GPA of 3.5 or higher. A special subset of those student-athletes was also selected for induction to Chi Alpha Sigma, which recognizes both academic performance, leadership and character for selected juniors and seniors.

Penn State Behrend was a mere three-hundredths of a percentage point behind Mount Aloysius, with 66.34 percent qualifying to rank second this year.
