The Edgewood University women's basketball program has once again been highlighted for its academic achievements, earning a special mention on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) team honor roll for the fifth straight year. The acknowledgment underscores the team's dual focus on competitive play and scholarly excellence.
During the 2025‑26 academic year the Eagles posted a collective grade point average of 3.528, a figure that reflects the program's commitment to integrating rigorous academics with athletic ambition.
Edgewood is not alone in this distinction; fellow Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) members Benedictine, Illinois Tech, Lakeland, Marian and St. Norbert also earned special mention on the WBCA honor roll, illustrating a conference-wide emphasis on student‑athlete development.
A Legacy of Academic Commitment
The WBCA honor roll serves as a national benchmark, evaluating team GPAs across Division I, II and III programs. Edgewood's consistent placement demonstrates a sustained culture of excellence cultivated by coaches, administrators and support staff.
Located in Atlanta, Georgia, the Eagles leverage their metropolitan setting to recruit student‑athletes who share the university's vision of producing graduates who excel both on the court and in their future careers.
University leaders say the repeated recognition reinforces Edgewood's broader mission to foster an environment where academic achievement is celebrated as loudly as athletic success.
