Baseball Receives Fourth-Straight ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award

For the fourth-consecutive year, the Bradley baseball was recognized by the American Baseball Coaches Association for its success in the classroom by receiving the sixth-annual ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award.

The Braves finished the 2020-21 academic year with a 3.4 team grade point average, easily exceeding the 3.0 cumulative GPA required to receive the ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award.

Bradley was one of four Valley schools to receive the accolade during the 2021 season. Additionally, BU is the only program in the conference recognized in each of the last four seasons and one of just 32 schools nationally (of 300 Division I programs) to earn four-straight honors.
