ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Washington women's basketball team has been named to the 2022-23 Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll, the WBCA announced Tuesday.
For NCAA Division I schools, the Huskies came in at No. 20. Washington is the only school from the Pac-12 to make the list, and just one of two schools from a Power 5 conference to be named. UW is the only Power 5 program in the Top 20.
"We are truly honored that the WBCA has recognized our women's basketball program for their work in the classroom," said Senior Associate Athletic Director for Student Development Kim Durand. "The coaches and staff believe deeply in the holistic development of our women and we are proud of all they have accomplished."
The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA DI, 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 WBCA is pleased to recognize those women's basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "The teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!"
This is the first time since the 2003-04 season that Washington has made the list, and their 3.585 GPA is the highest-ever average for the program since the same year. The impressive achievement comes on the heels of the best on-court season for the Huskies since 2016-17, and shows the dedication UW has to developing the student and the athlete.
