St. Mary's Places 84th amongst Division III Colleges in Comprehensive Study of Both Academics and Athletics

NCSA 2010 Power Rankings Study Helps Prospective Student-Athletes Evaluate Strengths of
Top College Institutions Around the Country

Chicago, Ill. – National Collegiate Scouting Association Athletic Recruiting is pleased to announce that St. Mary's College of Maryland was ranked 84th among NCAA Division III colleges/universities in the 8th Annual NCSA Collegiate Power Rankings.

Scott Devine, Director of Athletics & Recreation at St. Mary’s, stated, “The rankings position us in good company and it is something our coaches can use in the recruiting process, pointing to the strong balance between the athletic and academic sides.”

St. Mary’s was one of two schools to represent the Capital Athletic Conference as Salisbury University was ranked in the Top 100 as well.

NCSA Athletic Recruiting's Collegiate Power Rankings assess the academic and athletics standards of all NCAA athletic programs across the country.  The Power Rankings were developed to help prospective student athletes and their families evaluate the particular strengths of the top colleges and universities at the Division I, II and III levels.

Chris Krause, CEO and Founder of NCSA Athletic Recruiting, says, “The Power Rankings are an objective tool to empower student athletes to find the right fit in a college or university, not only for its athletics, but academics as well.  Our hope is to educate these student athletes and their parents on the importance of evaluating schools that will provide the education for an enriched, successful career after college, in addition to athletic success.”

The Collegiate Power Rankings from NCSA Athletic Recruiting are calculated for each Division I, II and III college and university by averaging student-athlete graduation rates, academic rankings provided by U.S. News & World Report, and the strength of athletic departments as determined by the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup ranking.

These Power Rankings are only one example of NCSA Athletic Recruiting's commitment to redefining collegiate recruiting.  As the leading athletic recruiting network, NCSA connects more than 35,000 college coaches with student-athletes who hope to pursue both higher education and the chance to compete in athletics at the college level.
