ITHACA, N.Y. — Morgan Barron of the Cornell men's hockey team has been named to the 2019-2020 CoSIDA Academic All-America Division I Men's At-Large team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
 
Barron continues to rack up accolades following a stellar 2019-20 season that saw the Big Red end the campaign as the No. 1-ranked team in both the USCHO.com and USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine national polls. He was named to the East Region's All-America first team after leading the Big Red in scoring for a second straight year. The ECAC Hockey Player of the Year was a selection on both the All-ECAC Hockey and All-Ivy League first teams, and he was the only representative from either circuit to be among the 10 finalists for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award.
 
Barron is the first Big Red forward to earn All-America honors since Matt Moulson '06 did so in 2005, and he's the first forward among first-team selections since Joe Nieuwendyk in 1987. He is the 10th All-American among Cornell forwards in program history.

Despite the cancellation of spring competition during COVID-19, CoSIDA continued its sponsorship of the Academic All-America awards program. Student-athletes were selected based on career statistics. Barron was eligible for Academic All-America honors after being selected to the All-District 1 team last month.
