This is the fourth straight year the Battlin’ Bears volleyball team has earned. Women’s golf made the list this year for the second straight year. This is the second Scholar-Team distinction for both men’s and women’s soccer after each earned the honor in 2015.
A total of 1,862 teams across the NAIA were named to the list for 2017-18. St. Ambrose (Iowa) led the pack with 23 teams represented on the list. The Missouri Baptist University’s women’s tennis team took the lead this year with a 3.90 team GPA.
For a team to be considered for the NAIA Scholar-Team award, it must have a minimum 3.0-grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as defined by the institution. The team grade point average includes all eligible varsity student-athletes.
