GREENVILLE, N.C. --- The College Swim Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) has named the East Carolina women's swimming & diving team an Academic All-America Swimming Team for the Winter/Spring semester of 2006.
To qualify for the Academic All-America Team Award, the entire swimming & diving squad, including all team members on the eligibility list, must average at least a 2.8 on a 4.0 scale.
" We take a lot of pride in excelling both academically and athletically," said Pirate head coach Rick Kobe. "Our ladies put a lot of time into succeeding in the academic arena and are very deserving of this distinction."
Twenty-one members of ECU women's swimming & diving team were named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll this season, maintaining a cumulative grade point average of 3.0. Three team members earned the C-USA Academic Medal by maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better.
