Holy Cross College Basketball Earns Multiple NAIA All-Academic Team Honors

Holy Cross College is proud to announce that several members of the Saints men's and women's basketball programs have been recognized as NAIA Scholar-Athletes for the 2025–26 academic year. These student-athletes exemplify what it means to excel both on the field and in the classroom, balancing demanding course loads with the commitment and leadership required in collegiate athletics.

This year, the list features an impressive group of Saints who have met—and exceeded—these rigorous academic standards.
