CENTER VALLEY, Pa. -- Navy's Kelly Altschul (Highland Village, Texas) and Emily Cordle (Rome, Ga.) were among the 42 student-athletes named to the 2009 Patriot League Academic Honor Roll for women's basketball, the league office recently announced.

To be eligible for the award, student-athletes must have both earned a varsity letter during the 2008-09 season and attained a minimum 3.20 grade-point average for the 2009 spring term.

Each of the eight league member schools have different criteria for awarding letters.

Altschul, a rising senior who is majoring in applied mathematics, posted a 3.80 GPA this past semester. Cordle, who graduated from Navy this past May with a degree in English, attained a 3.40 GPA during her final semester on The Yard.

This is the second year in a row that both Altschul and Cordle were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
