Women’s Basketball ranks in WBCA’s Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll
ADA — The goal of any student-athlete should be to work as hard in the classroom as she does on the court and have it translate into success for her as an individual and as a team.
Collectively, the Polar Bear women's basketball team has done just that, as it has been named in the Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll for the 2010-11 season by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
With its team 3.475 GPA, ONU has been ranked No. 16 among NCAA Division III women's basketball teams.
The WBCA Academic Top 25 annually recognizes all NCAA divisions, NAIA and junior college/community college teams across the nation that carry the highest combined grade point averages inclusive of all student-athletes on their roster for the entire season.
This year's list is the 14th in which the WBCA has presented the standings.
Adding to the academic accolades, outgoing senior Jeanne Bockey and sophomores Joanna Snyder and Katie Mengos were named 2011 Academic All-OAC recipients.
Northern finished the 2010-11 campaign 17-10 and 11-7 in the OAC.
