DILLON, Mont. — The American Volleyball Coaches Association announced today that more than 1,400 collegiate and high school volleyball teams have earned the AVCA Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT this season. The Montana Western Volleyball team has earned this honor for the sixth time in program history.

The award, initiated in the 1992–93 academic year, honors volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale.

"We are pleased that the record-setting success of the 2023-24 season on the court has extended to the classroom, too, as evidenced by more programs earning the AVCA Team Academic Award than ever before," says AVCA CEO Dr. Jaime Gordon. "This is a great example of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their full potential as both students and athletes."
