LEXINGTON, KY – The United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) announced today that the University at Buffalo volleyball program was one of 1,275 college and high school programs that have earned the USMC/AVCA Academic Award for the 2020-21 season.
As a team, the Bulls finished with a 3.42 GPA this past season, including 11 players with a cumulative GPA of 3.00 of better. Seven of those individuals have a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Earlier this summer, senior Lexi Nordmann was named a CoSIDA Academic All-District selection. She was one of four players also named academic All-MAC.
"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.
