91°µÍø

91°µÍø’s student-athletes continue to excel in the classroom. Since the University’s 2009 transition to NCAA Division II athletics, 91°µÍø has led the Pacific West Conference in academic performance for seven out of the last eight years.

President Mary B. Marcy received the 2016-17 PacWest Academic Achievement Award from Commissioner Bob Hogue during the University’s Academic Night, February 22.

For the 2016-17 academic year, 91°µÍø student-athletes tied a conference record with a program GPA of 3.44, tying BYU-Hawaii’s mark in 2015-16 when it interrupted a streak of six consecutive by 91°µÍø. The Penguins have surpassed a program GPA of 3.4 in each of the last four seasons.

Seven of 91°µÍø’s 11 intercollegiate teams scored higher than 3.4 GPA, and all the teams were above a 3.0 GPA. Women's cross country had the highest GPA with a 3.66 followed closely by men's golf with a 3.6 GPA.

Academic Night began with a reception hosted by for faculty, staff, and alumni in the Conlan Center’s Multipurpose Room. The 91°µÍø-Cal Baptist women’s basketball game began at 5:30 p.m.

The 91°µÍø-Cal Baptist men’s basketball game started at 7:30 p.m. Student-athletes from all athletic programs were recognized at a special on-court ceremony held during halftime. The ceremony also included the presentation of the PacWest Academic Achievement Award from Commissioner Hogue to President Marcy, and the unfurling of another PacWest Academic Achievement Award banner on the Conlan Center wall.
