Pfennig and Achong Named CSC Academic All-Americans – University of Miami Athletics

After majoring in finance and minoring in business technology, Achong earned her bachelor’s degree from Miami in May 2022, finishing as a five-time Dean’s List (3.5+ GPA) designee with a 3.748 undergraduate GPA. She then spent the last year in graduate school and added a master’s degree in finance this month, posting a 3.79 GPA. An ACC postgraduate scholarship recipient, Achong is a member of both ODK and the Mortar Board Honor Society. She, like Pfennig, is also a soon-to-be three-time All-ACC Academic Team selection.

Achong and Pfennig are the fourth and fifth Academic All-Americans—fifth and sixth occurrences—in program history, with the prior four all earning the plaudit in the at-large, non-sport-specific category. The duo follows Bianca Eichkorn (Second Team in 2011 and Third Team in 2010), Audra Cohen (Second Team in 2007) and Megan Bradley (First Team in 2005).
