ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. - Seniors Scott Jordan and James Wood have both been selected to the Atlantic 10 Academic All-Conference team in voting conducted by the league's sports information directors, announced on Wednesday afternoon.

This is the first postseason distinction for Jordan, while Wood captured a spot on the Academic All-Conference squad last season as well.

Jordan concluded his final season in the Brown and White with his third straight title in the 100-yard breaststroke (56.53) at the 2008 Atlantic 10 Championship. The Higganum, Conn. native also added two more top ten finishes at the season-ending tournament as he touched the wall second in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:03.75) and sixth in the 200-yard IM (1:54.25). Jordan also helped guide the second place Bonnies to a trio of top three results in relays, including a first place finish in the 100-yard medley relay.

Since his arrival on campus, Jordan has never finished below third in the 200-yard breaststroke while holding 10 individual top 10 and two additional top 20 finishes at the A-10 Championship. He also boasts a cumulative grade point average of 3.156 in English.

Wood garnered his second appearance in a row on the Academic All-Conference team after being selected following his junior campaign. The Fairport, N.Y. native picked up three top 10 results at this past season's A-10 Championship in the 200-yard backstroke (1:52.73/6th), 400-yard IM (4:09.33/7th) and the 100-yard backstroke (52.90/10th).

Throughout his three years as a Bonnie, Wood has accumulated six career top 10 finishes at the season-ending tournament. He also holds a 3.507 cumulative grade point average in psychology.

The Bonnies wrapped up their 2007-08 season with a second place finish at the A-10 Championship for the second year in a row.
