ERIE, Pa. - A school-record 222 Gannon student-athletes have been named 2016-17 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Scholar-Athletes it was announced Tuesday afternoon by the conference. As a result, Gannon produced the second-highest percentage of student-athletes named PSAC scholar-athletes among the league's 18 schools. The Golden Knights finished first in that category six times during the previous eight years.

Gannon placed second among PSAC institutions at 52 percent, producing 222 scholar-athletes among its 431 student-athletes during the 2016-17 academic year. A student-athlete must maintain a 3.25 cumulative grade point average or better to be named a scholar-athlete.

Only two PSAC schools reached the 50-percent plateau. Seton Hill led the way with 53 percent while Gannon produced a 52-percent clip. The Golden Knights ranked No. 1 in 2008-09 (46 percent), 2009-10 (46 percent), 2010-11 (45 percent), 2011-12 (48 percent) and 2014-15 (47 percent).

The Gannon athletics department has produced 1,658 PSAC scholar-athletes during its nine years as a member of the PSAC. That figure includes 158 student-athletes during its inaugural season in 2008-09, 161 in 2009-10, 169 in 2010-11, 172 in 2011-12, 182 in 2012-13, 186 in 2013-14, 200 in 2014-15 and 208 in 2015-16.

A total of 2,928 PSAC student-athletes were named scholar-athletes this year. The number represents a new league record, surpassing the previous record of 2,818 set last year. The figure also represents 41 percent of all student-athletes in the PSAC, setting a new league record.
