EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State volleyball was one of 1,450 teams to earn the 2025 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award, the organization announced Monday.Â
The award is given annually to collegiate and high school volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. During the 2024-25 academic year, the Spartans posted a 3.34 cumulative team GPA, while 10 student-athletes registered at least a 3.50 individually.Â
"It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom," said AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. "The fact that more programs earned the Team Academic Award than ever before is evidence of how committed our coaches are when it comes to helping their players reach their goals as both students and athletes."Â
