PAUL – The College of St. Scholastica had 70 Academic All-Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) recipients from the 2009 fall season, while volleyball and women's soccer had the best team grade-point-average in their respective sports; it was announced today by UMAC Sports Information Director Greg Johnson.

The conference had 225 winners in the fall of 2007, 166 in 2006 and 176 in 2005.
Following the Saints was Martin Luther College with 62 recipients, while Northwestern College was third with 51 honorees.
With 68 recipients, the sport of football had the most individual academic all-conference awards. At 63 and 59 respectively, women's soccer and women's cross country took second and third places.
The St. Scholastica volleyball team had the top team grade-point-average in their sport at 3.52. The CSS women's soccer team also had the best GPA in their sport at 3.42.
