LEXINGTON, Ky. — Tulane University beach volleyball earned the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award this season, the United States Marine Corps and the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced. The Green Wave was one of 66 NCAA Division I programs to receive the award in 2023.
The Wave posted a 3.564 cumulative grade point average during the 2022-23 campaign to land the program's second recognition for the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award. Tulane also received the award in 2020.
A record number of programs, 1,333, were honored for their academic achievements this year. The award, initiated in the 1992–93 academic year, honors volleyball teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale.
"The commitment our coaches make to help their student-athletes pursue the best versions of themselves is evident in the academic accomplishments highlighted today." said AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon. "Achievement on the court has always been closely tied to success in the classroom which is reflected by the number of championship programs honored."
