"For Corban University to be awarded the second most Academic All-Conference honors this spring season is not only a testament to the hard work our student-athletes put in academically, but also a reflection of both their professors and coaches for providing them with the resources they need to succeed within the Cascade Collegiate Conference," explained Warriors' assistant athletic director Clayton Messerle. "This represents three-consecutive years that our spring sports have raised the bar and earned even more individual academic awards, and we can't wait to see what they accomplish next both in the classroom and on their respective playing surface."

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 complete academic year, and be of at least sophomore standing academically within their institution at the time of nomination.
