Coyotes earn AVCA Team Academic Award, Team Academic Honor Roll

VERMILLION, S.D.— The South Dakota volleyball program earned the AVCA Team Academic Award and the distinction of Team Academic Honor Roll for being in the top 20% of GPAs in Division I, announced by the AVCA Wednesday.
 
The Team Academic Award honors collegiate and high school volleyball programs that maintain a year-long GPA of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or a 4.1 GPA on a 5.0 scale.
 
"I am very proud of our team for continuing to set the standard for what it means to be a true student-athlete," head coach Leanne Williamson said. "This program has been very consistent with their academics, and this year is no different. I am proud of the people they are who push themselves to be their best selves in every area of their life!"
 
The Coyotes earned the award for a 10th consecutive year and the 11th time overall. The team's GPA of 3.71 for the 2023-24 academic year landed them inside the top 20% of NCAA Division I programs, giving them the Team Academic Honor Roll distinction.
