Norfolk, Va., ( Nov. 16, 2022) — Seven members of the 2022 Delaware State volleyball team have been honored by the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference for their success in the classroom. The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) announced this week the 2022 Volleyball All-Academic Selections, honoring 64 student-athletes from the conference's eight institutions who achieved academic success during the 2021-22 school year.
MEAC sophomore, junior and senior student-athletes with a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average, as well as transfer student-athletes who have been in residence at the institution for at least one year, are eligible for All-Academic accolades.
"I want to congratulate our women's volleyball student-athletes for maintaining a 3.0 or better grade point average," MEAC Commissioner Sonja Stills said. "The ultimate goal is to develop and graduate our student-athletes to be productive citizens in our society, and success in the classroom is as important, if not more so, as what happens on the court."
