GAMBIER, Ohio -- The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) announced recently its member college programs that earned the 2021 ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award. Among those members, the Kenyon College Lords were one of 146 NCAA Division III programs to be recognized.

To be eligible for the academic award, a baseball team had to have a head coach that is a current ABCA member and had to have members of its 2020-21 roster combine for a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The Lords had no problem clearing the minimum, as the 31 student-athletes on the 2020-21 roster combined to post a 3.45 grade point average.

The Lords have now earned the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award four straight years.
