MILWAUKEE – The Mount Mary University Blue Angels continue to take their work in the classroom with the utmost importance as six MMU student-athletes make the Association of Division III Independents 2015 Spring All-Academic Team.
The AD3I All-Academic Team recognizes sophomores, juniors, and seniors in the sports of women’s and men’s basketball, softball and baseball who achieve a GPA of 3.5 or higher during the spring semester.
From Blue Angels basketball, Sarah Amoroso (Fr./Wauwotosa,Wis.) and Abigail Radish (Jr./Muskego,Wis.). It should be noted that academically Amoroso qualifies as sophomore.
On the diamond, the Blue Angels softball team sent 33 percent of their roster to the All-Academic team. Nikki Festge (Jr./Menomonee Falls, Wis.), Katie Edwards (Sr./Mackinaw, Ill.), Michelle Argenzio (Jr./Brookfield, Wis.) and Nicole Weggen (Jr./Menomonee Falls, Wis.) all made the grade and the AD3I All-Academic team.
Those are not the only Blue Angels leading the classroom. 20 MMU student-athletes made the Mount Mary University Dean’s List for the 2015 spring term. The Dean’s List at MMU requires students to carry a 3.6 GPA or higher. Nearly two out of every five Blue Angels made the Dean’s List this semester.
“With 4 of our 6 sports in the fall, many of our student athletes are taking their tougher courses and/or a fuller classload in their spring semesters." Mount Mary Director of Athletics Marc Heidorf adds, "So to see this many honor students and high GPAs is impressive and a testament to their work ethic and abilities as students.”
The following Blue Angels have been named to the MMU Dean’s List.
For the in season basketball team, Abigail Radish (So./Muskego, Wis.) and Sarah Amoroso (Fr./Wauwatosa, Wis.) made it.
The softball team sent Michelle Argenzio (Jr./Brookfield, Wis.) and Nicole Weggen (Jr./ Menomonee Falls, Wis.) to the Dean’s List.
The cross country team had Natalie Guyette (So./Shiocton, Wis.), Hayley Hove (Golden Valley, Minn.) and Danielle Sherrer (Jr./Milwaukee, Wis.) make it.
Blue Angels soccer members Christy Kugler (Fr./Brookfield, Wis.), Ashley Lehnen (Fr./Sussex, Wis.), Lucy Vue (Fr./Milwaukee, Wis.), Marianne Xiong (Fr./Milwaukee, Wis.) and Christine Zacharias (Fr./Oak Creek, Wis.) are on the Dean’s List.
