ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville volleyball team has earned the 2025 AVCA Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT. The announcement was made on Monday (July 21) by the AVCA.
This is the second year in a row the Bulldogs have earned this award since receiving it back-to-back in 2019 and 2020, and the fifth time earning the honor in program history. The Bulldogs finished the 2024-25 academic year with a 3.509 GPA.
More than 1,450 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.
"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."
