The Central College volleyball team has received the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award, continuing the 18-year streak of earning the national honor.
It’s the most consecutive years any Division III college has been recognized. Central has been cited 19 times overall. To receive the AVCA distinction, a team’s combined grade point average for the preceding year must be 3.30 or higher. The program is in its 26th year and Central is among 173 Division III schools cited.
Central had eight players earn academic all-Iowa Conference recognition last fall, which requires a 3.50 or better cumulative GPA. That group included Chapel Carter, Courtney Comstock , Erin Dilger and Delanaey Tegeler. Also qualifying were recent graduates Jenna Dille , Madison Egger, Keegan Flaherty and Kylie Gerstein.
