The Hall had a successful 2021-22 both on the court and in the classroom.
ATLANTA – The Seton Hall women's basketball team, fresh off its dazzling WNIT run, received a Special Mention by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) for its Academic Top 25 listing.Â
The Pirates, who finished with a 3.232 grade point average, placed just outside the Top 25, but received one of the WBCA's Special Mentions.
The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year college women's basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2021-22 season is the 27th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.
This year's release also marks the first year in which all teams which qualified for the top 25 rankings with the minimum 3.0 GPA also are recognized for their academic accomplishment.
South Dakota State, coached by Aaron Johnston, finished first among NCAA Division I members with a 3.837 cumulative team grade-point average. Â Teams having a 3.0 combined GPA and qualifying for consideration in their respective divisions were listed as special mentions.
