The Johns Hopkins University women's volleyball program has been celebrated by the American Volleyball Coaches Association for its outstanding academic performance during the 2025‑26 academic year.
The team maintained a collective 3.83 grade point average, earned ten perfect 4.0 semesters, and was named to the AVCA Team Academic Honor Roll, an accolade reserved for programs whose year‑long GPA places them in the top 20% of those receiving the Team Academic Award.
A Season of Excellence
Out of 233 NCAA Division III women's volleyball programs that received the award, Johns Hopkins ranked among the elite, underscoring the program’s commitment to balancing athletics and scholarship.
The Blue Jays are set to begin the 2026 season on Friday, September 4, when they host Penn State Altoona at Goldfarb Gymnasium as part of the Greg "Gio" Giovanazzi Memorial Tournament.
Coach and teammates alike view the academic recognition as a foundation for a competitive campaign, hoping to translate classroom success into on‑court victories.
The upcoming match will mark the first test of a schedule that blends rigorous academics with a demanding athletic slate.
Fans and alumni can expect a blend of strategic play and the same disciplined mindset that earned the team its recent honors.
