The Volleyball Team accepts the 2011-2012 Academic Excellence Award at the Blue Devil Athletics Gala held recently on campus. |
The grades from the last semester are out and the Women's Volleyball team "really excelled in the classroom" this spring, Coach Geoff Braun posted on his blog. "The ladies earned a cumulative GPA of 3.62. This mark was the highest of all the Blue Devil programs."
Within the team, eight women made the Dean's List. The Women's Basketball team and the Women's Lacrosse team finished the semester with a 3.42 and a 3.41 cumulative GPA, respectively, rounding out the top three teams in the Athletic Department.
The announcement comes fresh after the Volleyball team earned the trophy for the highest cumulative GPA from the spring 2011 and fall 2011 semesters.
"It looks as if we are pretty serious about the defense of the title," Coach Braun said. "Very nice academic effort ladies. Great job!"
