COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference released its First Team Academic All-RMAC squad and honor roll list this afternoon with Regis being represented well this year as they earned two members to the first team and 16 total on the honor roll.
Highlighting those two Rangers on the First Team were the pair of Maggie Payne and Fernanda Rodriguez with each of them owning a 3.5 GPA or better and being top performers in the conference both athletically and academically.
Payne, who was named the conference's Goalkeeper of the Year, earns this honor while holding a 3.97 GPA in her career and majoring in Biology. She was previously an Honor Roll member last season before being voted to the First Team this year.
Rodriguz joins Payne on the First Team with a 3.51 GPA herself while majoring in Health Exercise Science. In addition, this is her first academic honor of her career.
Both Payne and Rodriguez now have been honored with two First Team nods this season for both All-RMAC and Academic All-RMAC.
On the honor roll, 14 others from Regis were also represented with that group including Emma Attwood (Jr., Biology), Elsa Nolen (Sr., Health Exercise Science), Mya Pasion (So., Undeclared), Paige Davis (Jr., Nursing), Avery Van Natter (So., Undeclared), Elsie Miller (So., Neuroscience), Alysah Messenger (So., Nursing), Malia Salema (Jr., Biochemistry), Brooke Castillo (Sr., Neuroscience), Aaliah Barwick (R-Sr., Business & Strategic Communications), Andie Rylance (Jr., Health Exercise Science), Addy Borgmeier (So., Neuroscience), Brielle Bickham (Jr., Criminology), and Helen Stegner (Sr., Biochemistry).
Attwood, Nolen, Davis, Salema, and Rylance are repeat picks this season after being on the honor roll in 2025 as well.
The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference-sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.
Each institution's athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league's athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
