Lady Chaps Recognized By WBCA As Having the Top Team-GPA in All of NCAA Div. II

ATLANTA, Ga. (July 19, 2021) - The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls were announced for the 2020-21 season and Lubbock Christian University's women's basketball team was recognized for a 3.783 GPA, which was the top GPA in all of NCAA Division II.

LCU's GPA ranking tied for the ninth-best team-GPA of all NCAA collegiate levels of women's basketball, which includes all universities at the NCAA Div. I, Div. II and Div. III level nominated by a WBCA-member head coach. The Lady Chaps led all of Div. II, with Maine (Div. I) leading all programs with a 3.900 GPA.

LCU has made the Team Honor Rolls every season since leaving NAIA in 2014, and this season's mark finishing first is their best in NCAA Division II. It is the fourth consecutive season LCU has finished with a GPA ranking in the top-five in NCAA Division II (finished second the past two seasons), and this season's GPA is their highest since eligible for the honor. LCU has completed at least a 3.75 GPA for a third consecutive season, having a 3.779 GPA in 2019-20, 3.767 in 2018-19 and a 3.75 in 2017-18 (third-best in NCAA Division II).

A team's GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points earned by the total number of hours attempted by all team members in the academic terms (semesters or quarters) that the season spans. Weighted grades are converted to a 4.0 scale. The GPA's are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a point. Teams are nominated for the honor by a WBCA-member head coach. A team must have a 3.000 or better GPA to be nominated.
