MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) has announced the AVCA Team Academic Awards for the 2012-13 season and the Lady Hornets of Alabama State are one of those teams.
The award honors collegiate volleyball teams that show excellence in the classroom by maintaining at least a 3.30 grade-point average (gpa) on a 4.0 scale. The Lady Hornets finished the school year with a 3.31 gpa.
"We put a high demand on our student-athletes to perform not only on the court, but in the classroom, and this award shows the determination these young ladies put forth in their academics," Head Coach Penny Lucas-White said. "We will push them to continue to work hard in the classroom, but I am very proud of what they have accomplished with this award."
The AVCA initiated the award during the 1992-93 academic year, and honors not only NCAA Division I programs, but NCAA II, NCAA III and NAIA programs. ASU was one of 130 NCAA Division I teams to earn the award this season.
