The volleyball team earned a 3.317-grade point average as a team this spring semester. The Buffs have successfully had greater than a 3.0 GPA in eight-straight semesters.
The award was initiated in the 1992-93 academic year and honors teams who achieve above a 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or 4.1 on a 5.0 scale. In all, a total of 1,333 teams were honored at the high school and collegiate level.
This is the fourth time the Buffs have achieved the honor and it’s the seventh time that coach Jesse Mahoney has coached a team who has won the honor, including his final three teams at the University of Denver (2013-15) and now four-straight at Colorado (20-23).
