Twenty Portland State athletes have earned Academic All-Big Sky Conference honors for the winter season. The athletes were spread among four different teams.
Highlighting the Academic All-Big Sky honorees are seven players of 11 eligible from the women's basketball program. To be eligible for honors a student-athlete must maintain a 3.20 GPA or higher and participate in at least half of the team competitions.
