Bowling Green State University's D'Arcy McConvey has been named to the 2004 CoSIDA Academic All-America Men's At-Large University Division Third Team. McConvey is the third BGSU student-athlete this year to be named an academic all-America and the seventh Falcon hockey player ever to earn such an honor. Craig Jarrett (football/second-team) and Stefanie Wenzel (women's basketball/first-team) were named Academic All-Americas this year.
The CoSIDA Academic All-America program honors 816 male and female student-athletes annually who have succeeded at the highest level on the playing field and in the classroom. Individuals are selected through voting by CoSIDA, a 2,000-member organization consisting of sports public relations professionals for colleges and universities in the United States and Canada.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of 3.20 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Division I, Division II, Division III and NAIA covering all NCAA championship sports.
McConvey, a native of Richmond Hill, Ontario, completed his four-year career with the Falcon Hockey team this past spring. He held a 3.91 grade-point-average while majoring in financial economics and was a two-time CCHA All-Academic First-Team member. The forward was named BGSU's Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year for 2004 and was a 2003 Verizon Academic All-District IV Third Team member.
