The Athenas earned the honor by finishing in the top 25 in team GPA among all NCAA Division III institutions. CMS had a 3.683 grade point average during the 2019-20 academic year, which placed 18th in all of Division III and first among SCIAC schools.

Earlier this summer, CMS had four of its individual players capture All-America Scholar distinction from the WGCA as well, including junior Emily Attiyeh, sophomore Tiffany Hu and first-years Grace Lu and Noelle Song.
