Volleyball Receives AVCA Team Academic Award

The Eagles maintained a 3.55 GPA throughout the academic year and were honored for the ninth-straight season

LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the ninth-straight year, the Eastern Washington University volleyball team has earned a Team Academic Award from the United State Marine Corps (USMC) and American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA). This year's distinction marks the 18th time in program history that EWU has earned a spot on the list.
 
The award, initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale. The Eagles were one of 243 Division I teams and one of 10 Big Sky Conference schools honored.
 
This honor has become a tradition for the Eastern Washington volleyball program, as the Eagles earned seven consecutive AVCA Team Academic Awards from 1999-2005 and have been featured in each of the past nine Team Award announcements.
 
Eastern Washington maintained a 3.55 GPA for the entirety of the academic year and placed 18 student-athletes on the Fall Big Sky All-Academic team.
