UNBC Timberwolves tie record with 20 students earning Academic All-Canadian status for 2018-19

20 UNBC student-athletes were recognized as Academic All-Canadians for their work on and off the playing field today.

The annual U SPORTS Academic All-Canadian ceremony honours students who have achieved at least a 3.67 GPA, or an A-.
