Patriot League Release
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Fourteen members of the Lehigh baseball team have earned spots on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll for their strong spring semesters in the classroom, as announced by the league Monday.
Nine of the 14 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll selections earned spring semester grade point averages of 3.60 or above to qualify for Lehigh's Dean's List. Freshman Ryan Malloy led the way with a perfect 4.0 GPA in Lehigh's College of Arts and Sciences, while sophomore Matt Ratner tallied a 3.95 in Lehigh's College of Business and Economics.
Three-time Academic All-Patriot League member and 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree Mike Garzillo wrapped up his final semester as a Mountain Hawk with a 3.86 semester GPA as a Management major. Garzillo was recently drafted by the Miami Marlins in the 25th round of the MLB Draft and recorded his first professional hit Sunday while playing for the Batavia Muckdogs, the Single-A short season affiliate of the Marlins.
To be eligible for the Spring Academic Honor Roll, a student-athlete must earn a 3.20 grade-point average in the spring semester and participate in one of the Patriot League's winter or spring championship sports.
An impressive semester in the classroom builds upon Lehigh's strong 2016 campaign that saw the Mountain Hawks make their third-straight Patriot League Tournament appearance and capture Lehigh's third-consecutive 25-win season.
