The Gamecocks finished the academic year with a combined GPA of 3.73, the highest among all NCAA Division I programs.
“It’s a testament to the culture the players are creating in their locker room,” head coach Tony Annan said. “A culture of accountability, standards, and discipline, and what being a Gamecock stands for. I am thrilled for the team and will take this victory as progress in our process to achieve a high level of success.”
