The award given annually by the American Volleyball Coaches Association recognizes programs that maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average throughout the academic year. WKU joined UALR and Denver as the only three Sun Belt Conference schools to receive the honor.
“Even with all the success we have enjoyed on the court in recent years, I am even more proud of the work our kids have done in the classroom,” said Lady Topper head coach Travis Hudson. “This award, as well as maintaining our 100-percent graduation rate, is a tribute to the type of people we have in our program and the dedication they have to making the most of their education.”
This award marks the sixth time since 1999 that WKU has been recognized by the AVCA for their work in the class room. It is also the second academic honor for the Lady Toppers since May, when they were named the WKU Female Scholar Team at the annual academic banquet.
