February 26, 2021
Alex Sommerfield, a senior forward from Federal Way, Washington, was selected to the 2020-2021 Great Northwest Athletic Conference Men's Basketball All-Academic Team, presented by Barnes & Noble College.
Sommerfield is a digital journalism major and has maintained a 4.0 GPA in his year and a half with the Nanooks program. A year ago, in his first season with Alaska, he played in 30 games, starting in 10 while averaging 7.1 points per game and 3.2 rebounds per game.
Sommerfield was one of three GNAC men's basketball student-athletes to boast a 4.0.
"That's excellent for Alex and our program. He works hard off the floor and also on the floor," said head coach Greg Sparling.
"I think that Alex is only going to get better on the floor and off the floor."
The Nanooks opted out of the 2020-2021 men's basketball season due to COVID-19 and look forward to being on the court in 2021-2022.
