LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the 17th consecutive year, WKU Volleyball has been recognized as a recipient of the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award for its work in the classroom throughout the 2022-23 school year, the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced Thursday.
With a team grade-point average of 3.52, the Hilltoppers have earned the Team Academic Award for the 20th time since 1999.
WKU's 17-year streak of the award is tied for the sixth-longest among all Division I programs.
