EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern was named an All-Academic Team award recipient for the 2009-10 season by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), the organization announced today.

Teams with cumulative GPAs of 3.0 or higher were recognized with the honor. A total of 113 teams across all NCAA and NAIA divisions picked up the award, including 64 in NCAA Division I.
