Eric Sherman Named America East Winter Presidential Scholar Athlete

NJIT men's lacrosse redshirt junior Eric Sherman has been named one of nine America East Winter Presidential Scholar Athletes, the conference announced Wednesday afternoon.

Sherman, a Cherry Hill native and Mechanical Engineering major with a 3.85 GPA., joined Faith Bonett (New Hampshire WBB), Lauren Brushingham (UMass Lowell Field Hockey), Lexi Doran (Hartford Women's Soccer), Carlos Morehouse (UAlbany Men's Soccer), Maia Perez (Hartford Women's Soccer), Bjarki Sturlaugsson (UAlbany Men's Soccer), Danielle Tedesco (UAlbany Volleyball), and Jack Valderrabano (Stony Brook Men's Soccer) as recipients of the honor.

Winter Presidential Scholar Athlete honors are awarded to graduating student-athletes who compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher as an undergraduate student and earned their undergraduate this December. In addition to registering a 3.75 GPA for their college career, honored student-athletes must have received their undergraduate degree in the academic year they are honored and have attended their institution for a minimum of two years.

"Earning a college degree from one of our member institutions is an accomplishment anyone should be proud of," said America East commissioner Brad Walker. "For these nine individuals to do so while achieving a 3.75 GPA or better and while balancing the rigors of being a Division I student-athlete is incredibly impressive. We commend them on their achievement."

Since 2019, Sherman has appeared in 29 contests with four starts for the Highlanders and registered seven goals, six assists and 13 ground balls.
