MANSFIELD, MA. – Academic excellence continues to be a hallmark of Pace University Athletics, as the men's basketball and baseball programs were each honored with the prestigious Northeast 10 (NE10) Team Academic Excellence Award, announced on Wednesday. The award is presented annually to the team in each sport across the conference that achieves the highest cumulative grade point average (GPA) over the academic year.

Representing the Blue and Gold, both programs demonstrated a relentless commitment to success in the classroom, matching the same competitive drive they bring to the court and the field.
