"This is a great accomplishment for our players and is special because it is the best team GPA we've ever had here at Daytona State. We have an outstanding group of young men that have placed a great deal of importance on their performance, not just on the baseball field, but in the classroom as well. The support system for our student-athletes in our baseball program is fantastic. This award is not possible without the help from our administration and support staff."

Our academic advisors, Cindy Iafanti and Alison Mohr, do much more than just help our student athletes with classes. They take an interest in their lives and develop relationships with our kids that will extend far past graduation. They have been invaluable to the success for our athletic department, our Falcon baseball program but most importantly for our student athletes."
