LEXINGTON, Ky. – For the 10th time in the last 11 years, and the ninth-consecutive, the Arkansas Tech volleyball team has earned the AVCA Team Academic Award, as the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced on Monday.
OFFICIAL RELEASE
The Team Academic Award, sponsored by INTENT, was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year and honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
"It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom," says AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. "The fact that more programs earned the Team Academic Award than ever before is evidence of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their goals as both students and athletes."
The Golden Suns are set to open their 2025 season under first-year head coach Hannah Wuest at the Tiger Classic, hosted by Fort Hays State, the weekend of September 5-6, but the first chance to see the team in action is
Thursday, August 28 for the preseason Green vs. Gold Showcase. A time has not yet been determined for the intra-squad showcase, but it is slated to take place inside Tucker Coliseum.
