Ten individuals and both teams earned All-Academic recognition with the women's team earning the fourth highest GPA in the nation.
"I am incredibly proud of our team for their amazing academic success," said women's head coach Ian Solof.

We really emphasize success in the classroom as well as D1 track success and we are fortunate that these great student-athletes are drawn to our program."
