ATLANTA, Ga. – The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) recently announced its Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll for the 2021-22 season and the Gustavus women’s basketball team earned recognition. Making their 17th appearance on the NCAA Division III honor roll, the Gusties were recognized as the team with the 17th-best cumulative grade point average in Division III at a 3.668.
The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year college women’s basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2021-22 season is the 27th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls. This year’s release also marks the first year in which all teams which qualified for the top 25 rankings with the minimum 3.0 GPA also are recognized for their academic accomplishment.
