Multiple women on the Concordia College, Moorhead MN team should have qualified for the ITA Scholar Athlete award for the 2022-2023 season, as they received MIAC academic honors which follow the same requirements as the ITA scholars.
The Concordia Women’s team also amassed an average GPA of 3.73 for the 2022-23 season. Which would place them in the All-Academic Team ranking as well.
