INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The University of Memphis women's golf team received an NCAA Public Recognition Award for its Academic Progress Rate (APR). The NCAA national office released its list of institutions and athletics teams receiving Public Recognition Awards Wednesday.
For the Tigers women's golf program, it is the seventh-consecutive year it has earned an NCAA Public Recognition Award. Since the NCAA began awarding public recognition in 2004-05, Memphis women's golf has been honored a total of eight times (2004-05; 2009-10 through 2015-16).
The Academic Progress Rate is a real-time measure of eligibility and retention of student-athletes competing on every Division I sports team.
