STORRS, Conn. – The UConn volleyball team was named one of the recipients of the 2021 USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award, as announced by the American Volleyball Coaches Association Monday.
"Even though teams might not have played during their usual season or may not have competed at all during the past year, coaches still found ways to lead their players to academic excellence." said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "This is a testament to the important role volleyball coaches play in their players success both on and off the court."
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. A total of 1,275 collegiate and high school teams earned the honor.
