The University of Iowa volleyball program has been recognized with the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic and Team Honor Roll Awards, as announced by the organization on Monday.
A record-breaking 1,450 collegiate and high school volleyball teams nationwide maintained a year-long grade-point average of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale (or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale), earning them the 2025 AVCA Team Academic Award.
AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon stated, “It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom.” He added, “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.”
The Team Academic Honor Roll further acknowledges programs in the top 20% of GPAs for their division.
Iowa will hold its Black and Gold Scrimmage on August 23 at Xtream Arena, starting at 5 p.m., with free admission for the public. The Hawkeyes' regular season kicks off in Las Vegas against UNLV on August 29 at 8:30 p.m. CT.
