"Our fall sport student-athletes once again demonstrated an outstanding commitment to excellence in the classroom," said Corban Director of Athletics Bill Pilgeram. "We are incredibly proud of these Academic All-Conference honorees and the dedication they display every day as they balance the demands of academics and athletics at a high level."

To earn recognition as a CCC Academic All-Conference member, a student-athlete must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2, have attended their current institution for at least one academic year, and be of at least sophomore standing academically within their institution at the time of nomination. Varsity sports within the conference that are eligible for this distinction in the fall season include men's and women's soccer, men's and women's cross country, and women's indoor volleyball.

In terms of pure quantity and qualification percentage, the Warrior women's soccer program held the most individual award winners for a second-straight fall season with 14 total honorees while 14 of 16 eligible team members earned the GPA necessary to qualify for a success rate of over 87%. Women's soccer was followed closely behind by women's cross country who had ten Academic All-Conference team members. Women's volleyball submitted eight selections, representing a perfect 8-for-8 in terms of eligible student-athletes who met the GPA requirement. Men's cross country and mens' soccer added seven and six award winners, respectively. In total, three graduate students, 19 seniors, 13 juniors, and ten sophomores were named to the seasonal academic award presented by the CCC.

Corban University had the fourth most student-athletes among the 14 CCC full-time or associate members who had at least one award winner today, trailing The College of Idaho (65), Oregon Tech (50), and Southern Oregon (47) while beating out numerous full-time schools such as Eastern Oregon University (44), Evergreen (29), Walla Walla University (26), and Lewis-Clark State College (19).
