HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. – The Northern Kentucky baseball team was awarded for its hard work in the classroom on Wednesday, as the Norse were awarded the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award presented by Sports Attack for the second straight year.

NKU was one of four Division I schools in Kentucky honored. From a conference perspective, the Norse were one of three Horizon League schools to win the award.
