7/23/2019 | Volleyball
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) has announced the 1,126 (189 Division I Women's squads) teams earning the Team Academic Award for the 2018-19 season. The 1,126 breaks the previous year's total of 977 to set an all-time high, and is the 15-straight year to do so.
The Team Academic Award, which was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year, honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
Ole Miss is one of eight teams in the Southeastern Conference to earn the distinction, joining Auburn, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas A&M.
Ole Miss claims the award for the first time since the 2016-17 season.
The Rebels open up their 2019 campaign in Oxford, welcoming Iowa State, UCF, and Rice for the Rebel Invitational August 30-Sept. 1.
