ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville volleyball team has earned the 2024 AVCA Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT. The announcement was made on Thursday (July 18) by the AVCA.
This is the first year the Bulldogs have earned this award since receiving it back-to-back in 2019 and 2020, and the fourth time earning the honor in program history. The Bulldogs finished the 2023-24 academic year with a 3.405 GPA.
More than 1,400 collegiate and high school volleyball programs maintained a year-long grade-point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale (or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale) to earn the award for their classroom excellence during the recently completed academic year.
"We are pleased that the record-setting success of the 2023-24 season on the court has extended to the classroom, too, as evidenced by more programs earning the AVCA Team Academic Award than ever before," says AVCA CEO Dr. Jaime Gordon. "This is a great example of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their full potential as both students and athletes."
