LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Memphis volleyball program has earned a 2019 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award, the organization announced Monday. It is the sixth time in the last seven years the Tigers received recognition for their work in the classroom.
To receive the honor, teams must maintain a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative GPA on a 5.0 scale.
"I am very proud of the hard work and dedication that our student-athletes, coaches and academic support staff have put in to achieve this recognition this past academic year," said head coach Sean Burdette.
