LEXINGTON, Ky. – The St. Olaf College volleyball team picked up its 11th consecutive American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award and was named to the AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll, as announced on Thursday.

St. Olaf earned an 11th AVCA Team Academic Award in a row by compiling a 3.70 team grade-point average (GPA) over the course of the 2025-26 academic year. That mark put St. Olaf among the top 20 percent of NCAA Division III programs nationally, resulting in a second AVCA Honor Roll accolade in a row.

Of the 233 NCAA Division III women's programs honored this year, St. Olaf was one of just 22 programs – and the lone Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference program – to be on the AVCA Honor Roll in each of the last two years. Teams must record a year-long GPA of at least 3.3 to earn the AVCA Team Academic Award.
