Wildcats posted a 3.66 grade point average in the spring semester
RICHMOND, Va. – The UNH swimming and diving team was selected as a Spring 2026 Scholar All-America Team by the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA).
To earn this prestigious honor, teams were required to achieve a grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 or higher during the Spring 2026 semester. The Wildcats boasted a 3.66 spring GPA.
"This is truly a team honor that highlights the collective efforts of our student-athletes to achieve at the highest level in the classroom," head coach Josh Willman said. "I am proud of their self-motivation and dedication that earned this Scholar All-America Team award."
Highlighting UNH's academic prowess, senior captain Audrey Mahoney (Downers Grove, Ill.) repeated as America East Women's Swimming and Diving Scholar-Athlete of the Year for the second straight season, which marked the seventh year in a row and conference-leading 14th time overall a Wildcat won that prestigious accolade.
Mahoney, who earned a Health Management and Policy degree with a 3.95 GPA, was tabbed to the America East All-Academic Team for the third straight year to go along with junior captain Grace Mahon (Orange, Conn.), a back-to-back honoree, and junior Sydney Leblic (Madrid, Spain). Junior Grace Blume (Dedham, Mass.) joined that Wildcat trio on the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team.
Mahoney, senior Caitlin Mason (Charleston, S.C.) and senior Carolyn Nelson (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) each received America East Presidential Scholar-Athlete recognition for earning an undergraduate degree in the 2025-26 academic year with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher.
For the second year in a row, Mahoney, Mason and senior Trinity Devanney (Gulf Breeze, Fla.) were inducted into Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society (junior academic standing or higher with a minimum 3.5 GPA). First-year Chi Alpha Sigma inductees featured Blume, Mahon, junior Jessica Briers (St. Louis, Mo.), senior Izzie Campion (Auckland, New Zealand) and senior Emily Loren Wright (Ventura, Calif.).
