- The
Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its
2005-2006 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll for NCAA Division I, NCAA
Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and Junior College/Community
College, and the Huntington University Foresters were among the
honorees. The awards recognize the nation's highest team grade point
averages (gpa) for the 2005-2006 season based upon nominations
submitted by WBCA-member coaches.
The Huntington University women's basketball team was
fifth on the NAIA list with its 3.532 gpa. It is the eighth time in
ten years that the Foresters have appeared on the Honor Roll and the
second highest ranking for a Forester team during the ten years. The
1997-98 squad placed fourth with a gpa of 3.480. "It is an honor
that reflects the type of student-athlete we try to recruit," said
head coach Lori Culler. "We want players that have been successful
in the classroom as well as on the basketball court during their
high school career. When they arrive at HU, they already know what
it takes; it's just a matter of each one maximizing their God-given
talents."
Dana College took
top honors within the NAIA this year with a 3.585 team gpa. For a
