CAA Honors Three Teams For Academics

WILMINGTON, North Carolina – The UNCW baseball, men's golf and volleyball teams have been honored with the Colonial Athletic Association's Team Academic Excellence Award for 2021-22.

The league began honoring collective performances in the classroom six years ago (2016-17). The award recognizes the institution with the highest collective grade point average in the 22 sports sponsored by the CAA.

The team GPA is a calculation of the grade point average of each student-athlete who appeared on an institution's roster throughout the final day of their respective championship seasons during this past academic year.

The 22 awards were spread out over 10 different institutions. Drexel and Elon led the way with four teams recognized, followed by UNCW and Delaware with three apiece.

It marked the second straight year and third time overall that UNCW's volleyball team has been honored. It also represented the first Team Academic Excellence award for the baseball and men's golf teams.
