HELENA — Carroll College student-athletes led the Cascade Collegiate Conference with a 3.38 GPA this past school year, earning Presidents’ Academic Excellence status, the CCC announced on Tuesday.

The Saints held a 3.38 GPA while 65 percent of the student-athletes were awarded academic all-conference honors.
It’s the second time in the past three years Carroll College has won the award.
The Saints are an affiliate member of the CCC. Carroll’s men’s and women’s soccer teams and softball team all compete in the CCC. The women’s soccer team held a 3.44 GPA this past academic calendar, while the men held a 3.4 and the softball team held a 3.31.
