ATLANTA, Ga. --- The Moravian University women's basketball team was honored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association as a Special Mention for the Top 25 Team Honor Roll for achieving a combined 3.0 or higher grade-point average.

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, and two-year college women's basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2021-22 season is the 27th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

This year's release also marks the first year in which all teams which qualified for the top 25 rankings with the minimum 3.0 GPA also are recognized for their academic accomplishment.

The Greyhounds squad, under the direction of 35th-year head coach Mary Beth Spirk, finished the 2021-22 academic year with a combined grade-point average of 3.367, which garnered them the honor.

"The WBCA family of coaches is committed to the student-athlete experience and celebrates these teams that have demonstrated excellence in the classroom," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "This year's WBCA Academic Top 25 is a powerful list of teams and their head coaches who have winning cultures that prepare their student-athletes for success in life.

"We are also pleased this year to recognize all teams that achieved the minimum 3.0 combined GPA required for nomination. That alone is no small feat considering the rigors of playing college athletics."
