LEXINGTON, Ky. — For the first time in program history, the Cal Poly volleyball team garnered the United States Marine Corps/American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award.
The Mustangs are one of 227 Division I schools and one of four Big West schools to earn the award for the 2019-20 year.
The award, initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.30 on a 4.0 scale or 4.10 on a 5.0 scale.
This past winter quarter alone, the team had a combined 3.57 GPA, the highest amongst all Cal Poly athletics teams.
"Coaches have the most influence during difficult times," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "Keeping student-athletes focused on their academic success when their volleyball identity was suddenly gone is leadership worth celebrating!"
