Maria Petrillo, Mystic, shown sailing at the ICSA/Gill National Championship, is named to the The Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association (ICSA) All Academic Sailing Team for 2009, adding to the All American honors the 2009 Roger Williams University graduate earned last spring. The 2009 ICSA All Academic Team recognizes ten First Team and ten Second Team student-athletes who maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.5 on a scale of 4.00, were a key starter or reserve member of their school’s sailing team, and who had reached junior standing at his or her institution of learning in order to be considered eligible for this distinction.  Also remarkable is that six of the scholar athletes named to the 2009 All Academic Sailing Team – including Maria Mahler-Haug, Branford – were also named to the ICSA All Academic Sailing Team in 2008.
