AMHERST, Mass. - Five UMass players were named to the All-ECAC Academic Team on Tuesday. Senior attacker Tim Balise, junior midfielder Bobby Hayes, senior defenseman Brennan Mack, sophomore long-pole Casey Rahn and sophomore midfielder Stephen Zorkers were named to the team. For Balise, Hayes and Mack, its their second straight year on the team.
Balise is the only 4.0 GPA student on the team. He continues to garner academic honors after being named a First-Team Academic All-American last week.
Hayes has a 3.49 GPA, Mack comes in at 3.35, Rahn has a 3.55 and Zorkers registered a 3.59.
Balise was the only player to earn a spot on both the ECAC first team and the ECAC All-Academic team. Three ECAC second team selections also made the All-Academic team: Craig Dowd of Georgetown, Jeff Colburn of Hobart, and Bobby Hayes.
