Alex Baker led the way by earning the MIAA Academic Excellence Award, the highest academic honor awarded by the conference, which is reserved for student-athletes who maintain a perfect 4.0 GPA and meet the same certification standards as the other awards.
 

Drew Townsend was also recognized as MIAA Scholar-Athletes for their success both on the field and in the classroom. This award honors student-athletes who maintain at least a 3.50 GPA and receive All-MIAA honors during the season.
 

These honors do not include first-year freshmen or first-year transfers. The MIAA will announce its Newcomer Academic Awards for the 2025 academic year in late June.
