The Liberty League announced its winter sport All-Academic teams on Thursday, with five individuals from the University of Rochester squash program being honored.
 
In order to be eligible for All-Academic recognition, student-athletes must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or higher and be a sophomore or higher in class standing. This GPA includes grades from the most recent fall 2025 semester.
 
Meeting the mark in the classroom were graduate student Sam Knoll, juniors Van Inman-Benavente and Dhirren Rajarathinam, and sophomores Karim Moataz and Preston Wu.
 
Knoll is the only repeat honoree from last season, as the graduate student earns his second straight All-Academic honor.
 
The Liberty League winter championship sports include men's and women's basketball, men's and women's squash, and men's and women's swimming and diving. Overall, 413 winter sport student-athletes from member institutions received the honor, setting a new standard for the winter season in the 30-year history of the conference.
