NEWARK, Del. – Inspiring Greatness Together is not limited to the playing field for the University of Delaware athletic department.
The fall semester saw not only the highest winning percentage by the Blue Hens in nearly five years, but also saw a combined grade point average of 3.097, marking the 11th straight semester that a mark of 3.0 or greater has been achieved.
Of the 21 programs, 16 of them had a team cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.
"We are so proud of our talented young men and women representing the University of Delaware both on the playing fields and in their dedication in the classroom.", said Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak.
Women's golf posted the highest team grade point average ever recorded by a team with a 3.711 team GPA. They were one of three teams that achieved a 3.5 or better as a team, which is the standard for Dean's List at the University of Delaware. Women's cross country (3.610) and women's tennis (3.580) were the other two teams above a 3.5.
On the men's side, men's tennis led the way at 3.198, followed by men's golf (3.156) and men's lacrosse (3.120). The men's lacrosse team recorded the highest team GPA for a semester in program history.
"It's great to see the continued success of our student-athletes in the classroom," said University of Delaware Director of Student Services for Athletes Tim Morrissey, now in his 27th year leading the unit. "I think it really speaks to the quality of the collaboration between our coaches, academic support staff, and primarily our student-athletes who put in all of the hard work to earn these grades. It's always wonderful to see when our achievements mirror the values of the Athletic department and the University of Delaware as a whole."
A total of 170 student-athletes, over 31 percent of Delaware's total, earned Dean's List honors and an impressive 32 student-athletes recorded a perfect 4.0 for the fall semester.
