DECEMBER 17, 2009 - Three Green Bay student-athletes have been named to the Horizon League Academic All-League Teams for fall sports. Announced by the league today, a total of 50 student-athletes from five sports were recognized for their success in their sport and in the classroom.

Senior David Znaty (Hadera, Israel) of the Green Bay men's soccer team played in 19 games for the Phoenix this season registering 20 points off four assists and eight goals. Znaty was also 2-for-2 on penalty kicks while being named First Team All-Horizon League. Znaty finished third in the league in points (20), goals per game (0.42), points per game (1.05) and second in goals (8).

In the classroom, Znaty has earned a 3.51 grade-point average and is majoring in business administration.

Also receiving academic honors from the men's soccer team is junior David Prochazka (Gothenburg, Sweden). Prochazka finished the season second on the team and in the league with nine total assists while leading the league in assists per game (0.56). Prochazka was named to the All-Horizon League First Team and was also selected to the Horizon League All-Tournament Team.

In the classroom, Prochazka sports a 3.76 grade-point average in business administration.

Both Znaty and Prochazka scored penalty-kick goals in Green Bay's Horizon League Championship victory over top-seeded Butler to advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 26 years.

Green Bay's other honoree was sophomore volleyball player Laura Garrow (Appleton, Wis.). Garrow, a libero, led the team in total digs (512) and was second in service aces (22). Her 4.61 digs per set ranked third in the league and were the fifth-most in school single-season. She played in all 111 sets for the Phoenix.

Garrow owns a perfect 4.0 GPA as an elementary education major.

In order to be considered for the honor, student-athletes must have a cumulative grade-point-average of 3.20 or higher (based on a 4.00 scale) and have completed at least one year at their institution, having earned 24 semester-hour or 36 quarter-hour credits.
