FARMVILLE, Virginia – In a season full of awards and honors, Longwood’s women’s basketball program added one to its trophy, but this one comes from the classroom.
The Lancers were recognized as an Academic Special Mention by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association over the summer on their team strength 3,181 GPA.
The WBCA recognized all teams with a combined GPA of 3.0 or higher this season for the first time.
For the women of Longwood, their stellar GPA contributed to a record GPA for Longwood’s athletic department as a whole.
The defending champions of the Deep South are preparing for the 2022-23 season with Erika Lang-Montgomery at the bar. The team is returning seven players from last season’s Championship squad. Additionally, the Lancers welcomed six newcomers to Longwood.
The basketball season starts in November.
