INDIANAPOLIS - Honoring student-athletes for their success both in competition and in the classroom, the Horizon League announced its 2013-14 Winter Academic All-League Teams on Thursday. A total of 76 student-athletes from six winter sports were honored in balloting by the League's faculty athletics representatives and sports information directors.
