LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the second straight year the Converse University volleyball team has earned the AVCA Team Academic Award.
More than 1,450 collegiate and high school volleyball programs were named to the prestigious list. In order to earn recognition a team must maintain a year-long grade-point average (GPA) of 3.3 or higher on a 4.0 scale. This is the fifth time the Valkyries have been named to the list since becoming an NCAA Division II program.
This past academic year the volleyball team swept the Academic Excellence Award for both semesters. The 2024-2025 volleyball team joins the 2018-19 golf team, 2019-20 golf team, 2020-21 women's tennis team, and the 2022-23 women's cross country teams as the only programs to sweep the academic award in the academic calendar.
This past spring,
Tori Barr (Ninety Six, S.C.) and
Megan Carpenter (Easley, S.C.) both recorded perfect 4.0 GPA's in the classroom.
