Western Kentucky volleyball was one of 25 Division I programs to earn a spot on the Academic Honor Roll, the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced Monday.
With a cumulative GPA of 3.61, the Lady Toppers were recognized with an AVCA Team Academic Award for the 11th consecutive season and the 15th time since 1999.
WKU is the only D-I program to earn top 25 academic honors and finish in the top 25 (or receive votes) in the final AVCA Coaches Poll of the 2016 campaign.
The Lady Toppers in 2016 secured their third straight Conference USA regular season and tournament titles in addition to making the program’s 10th NCAA Tournament appearance.
