2014 Dec 5

Hannah Beinecke, a member of the field hockey team at Bates College, received New England Small College Athletic Conference All-Academic distinction for the fall 2014 season. To receive NESCAC All-Academic honors, a student-athlete must have reached sophomore academic standing and be a varsity letter winner with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.35.

Beinecke, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Beinecke of Manchester, Mass., is a 2012 graduate of Phillips Academy. She is majoring in interdisciplinary studies at Bates.

"Bates Athletics is especially proud that our students perform as well in the classroom as they do in their respective sports," said Kevin McHugh, director of athletics at Bates. "The NESCAC All-Academic citations are a testament to the 'student' component of 'student-athlete.'"
