CHENEY, Wash. – The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced Monday, July 21, that the Eastern Washington University women's volleyball team has earned the 2025 AVCA Team Academic Award, sponsored by INTENT.
In addition to this honor, Eastern also received the prestigious AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll distinction, recognizing programs that rank in the top 20% of team GPAs nationally by division.
"I couldn't be prouder of our team for earning this award," said head coach
Jon Haruguchi. "We ask a great deal of our athletes, and to see their hard work in the classroom recognized on a national level is an honor we deeply value. They consistently represent our team, school, and community with integrity and pride, both on and off the court."
This marks the 21st time Eastern has received the AVCA Team Academic Award—and the eighth consecutive year, a streak that began in 2018. The program first earned the award in 1999.
