Kansas City, Mo. – Over the last few weeks, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has released the 2023 Daktronics Scholar-Athletes for the following fall sports: men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, and women's volleyball. In those five sports, Aquinas had 34 student-athletes recognized for their academic achievements.

To qualify as an NAIA Scholar-Athlete – which is essentially Academic All-American status – individuals who are recognized must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, must appear on the eligibility certificate for the sport, and have attended one full year at the institution.
