LEXINGTON, KY – Dominican women's volleyball was one of 1,332 collegiate and high school volleyball teams to receive the 2023 USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award as announced Thursday by the United States Marine Corps and the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
"I'm proud of my team for continuing to show that at Dominican we value both academics and athletics," head coach
Fred Lin said. "This group of young women work hard in everything they do, so it's nice to have some recognition of their commitment."
The number of winners was an all-time record number of programs honored for their academic achievements. 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," AVCA CEO Jaime Gordon said. "Achievement on the court has always been closely tied to success in the classroom which is reflected by the number of championship programs honored."
