COMMISSIONER'S LIST

The Southland Conference Commissioner's List has been released for the Fall semester of 2023 and the New Orleans Privateers had 30 representatives between men's and women's cross country and indoor volleyball.
 
17 student-athletes from men's and women's cross country made the Commissioner's List. Of those student-athletes, 10 achieved 4.0 GPAs. Irene Bonanomi, Emma Bourg, Agnes Danner, Ida Danner, Rebecca Dekay, Alexandra Weir and Sophia Wolf all achieved a perfect mark for the women's team. Mason Appleton, Cade Litolff and Gary Sandrock achieved that mark for the men's squad.
 
Also earning a spot on the list from cross country were the following student-athletes: Antonio Delgado, Baptiste Depril-Dupre, Matthew Hansen, Evan Pardo, Alex Soileau, Oxana Bonjorn-Giros and Anna Martin.
 
"I'm always proud of our student-athletes and the work they do academically and to combine it with what they do athletically is always impressive," said Associate Athletic Director for Student-Athlete Services, Phillip Pinkston. "This group has reached new heights and it's important that we acknowledge and recognize these students. It brings great pride to watch their success and how they grow as student-athletes. They continue to represent the university, athletic department and themselves in a way that's unmatched."
 
In volleyball, the team had a collectively strong showing in the classroom. 13 student-athletes from the volleyball team made the Commissioner's List which was tied for the second-most since New Orleans joined the conference in 2013.
 
Ola Filip and Claire Turner achieved perfect 4.0 GPAs in the fall. Four more student-athletes (Lani Alleman, Defne Eciroglu, Molly Kehoe and Tatiana Mercer) all went above a 3.5 GPA for the Fall. Also making the list from volleyball were Vera Beltrame, Ava Kennon, Buse Kocakaya, Chandler Lee, Courtney Roundtree, Ryan Williams and Rita Zecchin.
