Tommies among top 20 percent of GPAs in NCAA Division I last season
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- For the 16th time under Head Volleyball Coach Thanh Pham, St. Thomas has earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT as announced by the organization Monday. The Tommies were recognized as a member of the AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll, which represents the top 20 percent of grade-point-averages (GPA) nationally by division.
The Tommies have earned the academic award during 11 of the past 14 seasons overall, including two distinctions to the prestigious honor roll. St. Thomas tied a DI program-best four selections to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team this past season including Lauren Galvin, Ellie Gustafson, Morgan Kealy and Ella Voegele.
"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."
The AVCA Team Academic Award, which was initiated during the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 on a cumulative GPA on a 5.0 scale.
