Gannon Has 290 PSAC Scholar-Athletes with Second-Highest Percentage in Conference

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Gannon University finished with the second-highest percentage of PSAC Scholar-Athletes among the conference's 17 universities in 2024-25.
 
The Golden Knights had 290 Scholar-Athletes out of 470 student-athletes who competed in PSAC play in 2024-25. That meant 62 percent of Gannon's PSAC student-athletes were Scholar-Athletes during the academic/athletic year. Gannon trailed only East Stroudsburg's 64 percent.
 
To qualify as a PSAC Scholar-Athlete, student-athletes must maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 upon completion of the academic year. The PSAC finished with 3,922 Scholar-Athletes in 2023-24.
 
Gannon had the sixth-highest total of Scholar-Athletes in the conference, trailing East Stroudsburg (361), Bloomsburg (313), Seton Hill (302), and Slippery Rock (297). Among Gannon's women athletes, 150 were Scholar-Athletes while 140 men were Scholar-Athletes.
 
Gannon's totals do not include student-athletes from sports that do not compete in PSAC play. Acrobatics & tumbling, competitive cheer and dance, women's wrestling and both water polo teams do not compete in the conference.

The women's soccer team led all Gannon teams with 33 Scholar-Athletes, while the football and men's soccer teams led all men's programs with 26.
