The USA South Athletic Conference announced its 2017-18 All-Academic honorees on Monday and 76 Covenant student-athletes were recognized.
Beginning in 2017-18, the USA South made adjustments to its criteria for the academic honor.
Students must now produce at least a 3.30 GPA in both the fall and spring semesters to qualify for the award, an increase from the previous 3.0 GPA requirement. Additionally, the conference added an Awarded with Distinction honor for an athlete with a GPA of 3.90 or better in both semesters.
Of the 76 Covenant honorees, 11 were awarded with distinction.
This academic year, 1,446 students from across the USA South earned Academic All-Conference honors.

Men's soccer also placed seven on the list, while softball and women's basketball had six each. The softball program led Covenant with three honorees on the Awarded with Distinction list.
