Twelve from Baseball Named to MAAC All-Academic Team

A dozen members of the Canisius baseball program were honored for their work in the classroom on Wednesday, as the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference announced its 2020 MAAC Baseball All-Academic Team. The 12 Golden Griffins are the third-most in the conference, highlighted by five senior student-athletes.
 
To be eligible for the MAAC All-Academic Team, a student-athlete must complete two semesters at their institution and hold a cumulative grade point average of 3.2 on a 4.0 scale.
 
Seniors Stephen Bennett, Jake Burlingame, Jarod Burmaster, Andy Leader and Jacob Victor were selected to the conference's top academic list. Other Griffs named to the All-Academic Team were juniors Jeff DeStefano and Jake Zurat, redshirt-sophomores Mike Mazzara and Mike Steffan, and sophomores Trevor Henneman, Kyle Kush and David Yankowski.
 
Bennett, Burlingame and Victor are all receiving the honor for the third time in their careers, while DeStefano, Leader, Mazzara, Steffan and Zurat are all being recognized on the list for the second time in their careers.
