RUSTON — For the fourth time in five years and the fifth time in program history, Louisiana Tech's volleyball team earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award, the organization announced on Wednesday.
Â
The Bulldogs first won the award for the 2017-18 school year and then won it three consecutive times at the end of the 2020, 2021, and 2022 academic year.
Â
LA Tech's academic performance in the 2023-24 academic year was truly outstanding, with a 3.403 cumulative GPA. Fourteen student-athletes were named to the CUSA Commissioner's Honor Roll, with Luisa Araujo, Jailen Hurley, and Riley Steubing earning the Academic Medal.
Â
A record number of volleyball programs have earned the AVCA Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT. More than 1,400 collegiate and high school volleyball programs maintained a year-long grade-point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale (or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale) to earn the award for their classroom excellence during the recently completed academic year.
In total, 229 Division I women's teams were honored for their academic achievement this past season.
Â
INTENT, which is in its first year of sponsoring the prestigious award, is a game-changing digital platform that links student-athletes (along with military special ops veterans) to a powerful network of candidate-seeking employers. The tech, information, and internet company guides student-athletes and service members toward professional and personal success in life after sports and service.
