For the seventh time since joining Conference USA, WKU won at least four championships in the 2025-26 athletic year. Hilltopper Volleyball once again raised the trophy in November, clinching both the regular season and tournament championships. WKU has won 21 of a possible 24 CUSA Championships in volleyball. Women's soccer claimed the regular season championship for the first time since 2021, going an unbeaten 6-0-2 in conference play. Women's golf won the CUSA Championship in Frisco, Texas, claiming the title for the second consecutive year. WKU Athletics has now won 48 championships in 12 different sports since joining Conference USA in 2014.
In addition to leading the league in championships, WKU has also displayed consistency. In 11 years in the conference, WKU has won multiple championships every year but two and has taken home at least five titles four times.
That excellence has also translated to the classroom. WKU’s 3.27 cumulative GPA for all student-athletes in Spring 2026 was the highest in the athletics department’s history, and all 14 of WKU's athletic programs had a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
