“Academic excellence has always been the cornerstone of this program,” said coach Sean Cleary. “I am incredibly proud of West Virginia University, our academic support staff and each and every young lady in our program with their commitment to achieving the highest level of academic success. The term student-athlete is exactly that. Student first, athlete second. We will always do whatever we can to ensure that our student-athletes have every opportunity to take the highest level of education with them as they embark on life after college.”
A total of 11 Mountaineers were honored for their commitment in the classroom, while nine earned Academic All-Big 12 First Team and two were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Second Team.
