LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Bowling Green State University volleyball team has been recognized by the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) for academic excellence yet again. The Falcons have received the United States Marine Corps (USMC)/AVCA Team Academic Award for the 2020-21 season.
This latest honor marks the 22nd time in the 27-year history of the award -- and the 21st consecutive season -- that the Falcons have earned the honor. BGSU's 21-year streak is tied for the second longest among all NCAA Division-I programs.
"Even though teams might not have played during their usual season or may not have competed at all during the past year, coaches still found ways to lead their players to academic excellence," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer.
