Both of Berry College's volleyball teams received recognition from the American Volleyball Coaches Association as the indoor program and the beach program both earned United States Marine Corps/AVCA Team Academic awards for outstanding work in the classroom in the 2021-22 season.
To achieve the recognition, a team must complete the 2021-22 year with a GPA of at least 3.3 on a 4.0 scale. Both Berry volleyball programs qualified for the mark. In the fall, the teams had a combined GPA of 3.51. In the spring, that mark moved to 3.76.
Berry's cumulative GPA also ranks among the top 20 percent of all Division III honorees on the indoor side.
The Vikings have now won seven USMC/AVCA Team Academic awards and have won five years in a row.
"Academic achievement does not happen by accident," said AVCA Executive Director Kathy DeBoer. "I'm so proud of the hundreds of coaching staffs that make excellence in the classroom a priority."
