Women's Soccer Team Ranks #3 of All
Collegiate Teams in GPA
| The women's soccer team's 2006-07 grade point average (GPA) ranked
third of 1,437 collegiate women's soccer teams, including all NCAA, NAIA
and NJCAA teams. The women's soccer team posted a remarkable 3.62 GPA
last year, earning the lofty ranking. Only Rockhurst University (3.68)
and Goshen College (3.63) had a higher GPA.
"I am extraordinarily proud of these remarkable young ladies," said
Coach Ken Nuber. "This team achieved great things this year, both on the
playing field and in the classroom. They were NAIA Region VIII Finalists
this year, losing the championship in the 107th minute. And they still
found time to give back to the community, raising nearly $6,000 for the
V Foundation for Cancer Research last spring and volunteering their time
to provide a free eight week clinic for young children."
This is not the first time that the women's soccer team has achieved
such lofty academic success: for the past three years, their GPA has
been in excess of 3.6. Their overall GPA has been 3.33 for the past ten
years. |
