Concordia earns AVCA award for 13th straight year

For the 13th consecutive year, the Concordia University volleyball team has been awarded with the AVCA (American Volleyball Coaches Association) Team Academic Award for 2010-11.  A total of 478 teams across the country were recognized this year, setting a new all-time high for this award. 

Concordia was one of 30 NAIA teams to earn the award this year.  The award honors collegiate and high school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale. 

"I'm very proud of the team for receiving this award for the 13th consecutive year,” said Head Coach Rachel Miller.  “Each year the team sets high academic team and individual goals, and this award highlights their dedication to success in the classroom."
