Jason Prince Named Academic All-American

AUSTIN, Texas -- Rockhurst University senior lacrosse midfielder Zach Bodeau and Michigan Tech senior Nordic skier Amanda Kautzer (Plymouth, Minn.) headline the 2020 Academic All-America® Division II Men's and Women's At-Large teams as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Bodeau and Kautzer are the CoSIDA Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year for their respective teams.
 
The at-large program for the CoSIDA Academic All-America® program includes the sports of fencing, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming and diving, tennis, water polo for both men and women; bowling, crew and field hockey for women; and volleyball and wrestling for men.

Amongst the recipients for this spring was Charleston Men's Tennis player and graduating senior Jason Prince. Prince, who graduated from the University of Charleston in May with a degree in accounting, carried a 4.0 GPA throughout his four years at the institution. This past year, Prince was selected as the West Virginia Society of CPAs Outstanding Accounting Student for the 2020 graduating class.

Last season, Prince was honored as one of only eight Division II tennis players in the country to receive the Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship and Leadership Award.

Due to the cancellation of Spring seasons due to the outbreak of COVID-19, awards are based on career statistics. During his time at Charleston, Prince contributed greatly to the successes of the Golden Eagles tennis squad, most notably during the 2017-18 season when he went 14-6 in single draws and 15-8 in doubles. Before the remainder of this season was cancelled, Prince complied a 5-7 singles draw record, which included three consecutive wins to conclude the season over Sacred Heart, Grand Valley State, and Emerson. In doubles, the Senior finished 2-0 in dual matches and qualified for the Atlantic Regional ITA Cup finale, falling to eventual champion and teammates Joao Tayar and Ben Lakeman.
