"We would like to congratulate our student-athletes on another outstanding semester in the classroom," Senior Associate Athletic Director for Championship Resources Aaron Stang said. "With an impressive 73 percent earning a 3.0 GPA and 43 achieving a perfect 4.0, their dedication to excellence extends beyond the field to the classroom. These numbers are not possible with the incredible support of our coaches and staff who understand the time commitment and work that goes into being a student-athlete and whose pivotal roles have not only nurtured athletic prowess but also instilled a commitment to academic success in our student-athletes. Thank you all for continuing to prioritize the academics and development of our student-athletes and we look forward to continuing to raise the bar higher."
