McTier, Devine pace six Seawolves on GNAC All-Academic squads
PORTLAND, Ore. – Six Alaska Anchorage players were among the 71 student-athletes honored Tuesday as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced its All-Academic teams for men’s and women’s basketball.
Sophomore forward Jackson McTier paced the Seawolves and registered the third-highest grade point average among the 21 men’s honorees. The Rockhampton, Australia, native owns a 3.84 overall GPA as a natural sciences major. McTier was joined by fellow first-time honoree Travis Parrish, a junior forward from West Bountiful, Utah, who carries a 3.71 GPA in economics.
On the women’s side, junior forward and Wasilla High product Alysha Devine led four Seawolves with her 3.73 GPA in management. It marked the second career all-academic award for Devine, who was joined by three-time honorees Jenna Buchanan (Galena, Alaska) and Jessica Madison (Port Angeles, Wash.). Buchanan – who earlier this month was voted to the CoSIDA Academic All-District Team – has a 3.64 GPA in early childhood education, while Madison owns a 3.29 GPA in justice. Sophomore forward Sierra Afoa (Anchorage/Dimond HS) also made the squad in her first year of eligibility with a 3.70 in social work.
To be eligible for the all-academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum grade point average of 3.2 and be in at least his or her second year of competition at a GNAC university.
