July 16, 2008 Atlanta, GA - The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its winners for the 2007-08 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll with Saint Martin’s finding itself in eighth overall among Division II schools with a grade point average of 3.515. The award, given in NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and Junior College/Community College, awards teams throughout the nation that carry the highest grade point averages for the entire season based on the nomination submitted by WBCA-member head coaches. "It is certainly an honor to have our team recognized by the WBCA. This accomplishment reinforces what great student athletes we have representing Saint Martin's University, both on and off the court,” said head coach Tim Healy. “The cooperative commitment to academic and athletic excellence by our administration, faculty and athletic department allows our students to maximize their potential as true student athletes." Saint Martin’s was one of three Great Northwest Athletic Conference schools to be named to the list, finishing ahead of Seattle Pacific (19) and Montana State Billings (21). "I would like to say congratulations to each and every one of these teams for producing some impressive cumulative grade point averages," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "These numbers would be notable for one student-athlete alone, but for an entire team to compile overall GPAs such as this is truly remarkable. I tip my hat to these programs and wish continued success both on and off the court."
