Central Islip, N.Y. - East Coast Conference Commissioner Robert Dranoff announced the list of 759 student-athletes who were named to the ECC Commissioner's Honor Roll for the 2011-2012 academic year on Wednesday afternoon. The ECC’s nine member institutions continued to increase the number of student-athletes honored for the fourth consecutive year (678 in 2010-11; 654 in 2009-10; 617 in 2008-09; 613 in 2007-08).

“Congratulations to all those student-athletes who participated this past year in ECC athletics and to those who represent their institutions and the conference so well in the classroom, the community, as well as in their sport,” said Dranoff. “We are very proud of you!”

LIU Post led all ECC institutions placing 134 student-athletes on the Honor Roll, which accounts for over 38% of their student-athlete population.  Molloy was next with 108 student-athletes and also led the way with 49% of their student-athlete population being honored.  Bridgeport was the runner-up by percentage, with 45%.   

The Commissioner’s Honor Roll is awarded to student-athletes who receive a 3.25 or better cumulative grade point average. This annual recognition, in addition to Scholar-Athlete awards, helps to uphold the East Coast Conference’s mission of promoting the total person and the ability to excel not only in the athletic arena but also in the classroom.
