INDIANAPOLIS – Honoring student-athletes for their success both in competition and in the classroom, the Horizon League announced its 2013 Spring Academic All-League Teams on Friday. A total of 91 student-athletes from eight spring sports were honored in balloting by the League’s faculty athletics representatives and sports information directors.

UIC and Valparaiso led the Horizon League with 19 honorees apiece, followed by 12 from Detroit, 11 from Loyola and 10 from Youngstown State. Milwaukee had seven winners, Green Bay and Wright State each had five and Cleveland State rounded out the voting with two honorees.

The Horizon League recognizes student-athletes with seasonal Academic All-League Teams in each of its 19 championship sports. To be eligible for Academic All-Horizon League consideration, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade-point-average of 3.20 or higher (based on a 4.00 scale) and have completed at least one year at the member institution, having earned 24 semester-hour or 36 quarter-hour credits.
