Iona WBB Recognized on WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll

ATLANTA, GA - The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced the Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls on Wednesday afternoon. The Iona women's basketball team posted a 3.621 cumulative GPA, good for 17th among the WBCA's Division I programs. Last season, Iona appeared at No. 21 on the list.

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year college women's basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2021-22 season is the 27th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

South Dakota State, coached by Aaron Johnston, finished first among NCAA Division I members with a 3.837 cumulative team grade-point average. Fort Hays State, coached by Tony Hobson, claimed top academic honors in NCAA Division II with a 3.814 GPA. Iona is the only Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference institution to appear inside the top 25. Canisius, Fairfield, Manhattan, Quinnipiac and Rider all received special mention for achieving at least a 3.0 GPA.

"The WBCA family of coaches is committed to the student-athlete experience and celebrates these teams that have demonstrated excellence in the classroom," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "This year's WBCA Academic Top 25 is a powerful list of teams and their head coaches who have winning cultures that prepare their student-athletes for success in life."
