LEXINGTON, KY.—The SUNY Potsdam women's volleyball team has claimed the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award for the sixth straight season. The Bears have earned the award eight times including 2010-11 and 2011-12.
Potsdam was one of four SUNYAC programs to claim the accolade along with SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Oneonta and Oswego State.
First distributed after the 1992-93 season, the team award recognizes collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the academic year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point-average on a 4.0 scale.
