CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Queens University of Charlotte women's volleyball has once again proven its excellence in the classroom, earning the 2025 American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award, sponsored by INTENT. This marks the program's ninth all-time academic award and its eighth consecutive honor dating back to 2018. The Royals also earned the award in 2015.

The AVCA Team Academic Award recognizes volleyball programs that maintain a year-long cumulative team grade-point average of at least 3.30 on a 4.0 scale. This year, a record-breaking 1,450 collegiate and high school volleyball teams across the country earned the distinction, demonstrating the sport's dedication to academic achievement alongside athletic success.

We pride ourselves on having well rounded student-athletes that not only excel on the volleyball court, but in the classroom," Head Coach Matt Stolz said of the honor. "Earning the AVCA Team Academic Award is a team goal every year and I am proud that we've accomplished that. Our student-athletes are well rounded and take pride in their academics."
