Women's volleyball earns AVCA academic award

ORANGE, Calif. –The Chapman University women's volleyball team once again earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association's Team Academic Award for the 2015-16 school year. Chapman was part of a record-breaking list for the AVCA's annual academic award.

In order to earn the recognition, the AVCA required teams to post a 3.3 team GPA or higher for the entire school year. The Panthers exceeded that minimum with a 3.45 GPA last year – the fifth-highest in the department.

A total of 764 teams earned the academic distinctions across all levels of volleyball from high school to college. That number broke last year's record by seven.
