Alec Fetzer academically honored

"The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced its annual 2014-15 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete award recipients on Monday. Through his excellence in the classroom, the California Maritime Academy's Alec Fetzer has earned the honor. Fetzer, a junior guard from Saint Helena, is an International Business major who has flourished in the classroom as he has also been named to Cal Maritime's President's List on several occasions during his three years on campus. Alec was also a valuable member on the floor serving as the team's sixth man. He shot nearly 40% from three point range for the season including an impressive 56% from distance during conference play. Alec helped the Keelhaulers to their fourth consecutive conference championship and fourth straight trip to the NAIA National Tournament.

In order to be nominated by an institution's head coach or sports information director, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved a junior academic status.

"We are extremely proud of Alec for earning this great accomplishment. His work ethic and passion to succeed are inspiring and he represents the very best of collegiate athletics. He has a very bright future ahead of him and I am thrilled we have the opportunity to have him in our program for one more year," commented Head Coach Bryan Rooney. 

This marks the second consecutive year that Cal Maritime has had a student-athlete recognized as an Academic  All American. Erik Hanson and Jaquai Wiley earned the honor for the 2013-14 season."
