"Classy" Teams Take Home Highest WBCA Honor Off the Court
NCAA Divisions I, II, III, NAIA & JC/CC Schools Gain Recognition
in the 2006-2007 Academic Top 25 Honor Roll

 

Atlanta, Ga. -- The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its 2006-2007 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll for NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and Junior College/Community College. The awards recognize teams throughout the nation that have the highest grade point averages (GPA) for the 2006-2007 season based upon nominations submitted by WBCA-member coaches.


     Only 20 of those are junior or community college teams. The Ventura College Women’s Basketball Team made the list for the fourth straight year, and is the only California team so named. The Pirates earned a cumulative  3.272 GPA throughout the academic year to place seventh on the national list, their highest placing ever.  VC was the Conference Champion for the 17th year in a row for the 2006-07 year, as well.

 

     "It always brings the WBCA esteemed pleasure to recognize such prominent women's basketball programs that have committed themselves on the hardwood and in the classroom," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "Each of these teams lead by example and have set a benchmark of success academically among their peers and in the sport."
