FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Sunshine State Conference Commissioner Jay Jones announced Wednesday the selections for the Fall Student-Athlete Commissioner’s Honor Roll. The SSC recognized 42 Nova Southeastern student-athletes for their academic performances last fall.

Student-athletes from every fall team had at least three players acknowledged. Men’s Soccer led the Sharks with 16 student-athletes honored, women’s soccer followed with 11, volleyball recognized seven, women’s cross country had over half its team with six and men’s cross country rounded out the pack with three.

A total of the 402 Sunshine State Conference student-athletes were honored and 55 carried a 4.0 GPA for the semester. The Sharks claimed three of those perfect GPA’s in Lorenzo Migliavacca (Sr., Varese, Italy), Lindsey Nowland (Jr., Cape Coral, Fla.), and Peri Bowman (Fr., Virginia Beach, Va.).

Migliavacca, a men’s soccer player, is a business administration major who played in three games, starting in one, before sitting out the rest of the season due to injury.

Nowland, a women’s soccer player, is a biology major and was earlier named to the 2010 CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District Third Team. She started in 11 games and helped hold opponents to 17 goals on the season while posting an assist against Florida Memorial on Sept. 8.

Bowman, a woman’s cross country runner, is a marine biology major and a top runner for the Sharks, finishing 12th at the Sunshine State Conference Championships.

To be qualified student-athletes must post a minimum grade point average of a 3.2 on a 4.0 grading scale and participate in the sports of men’s and women’s cross country, soccer, and volleyball. It is the fourth consecutive year the Sunshine State Conference has led all 22 Division II conferences with an Academic Success Rate of 86 percent.
