Swimming & Diving Named Scholar All-America Team

GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's swimming and diving team has earned Scholar All-America Team honors for the 29th time since the spring of 2007 according to an announcement by the College Swimming and Diving Association of America (CSCAA) for the fall of 2023, the committee announced Monday.

"Very happy with another Scholar All-America recognition," ECU Head Coach Matt Jabs said. "Our academic goals are: first, to support/challenge our team in their academic pursuits, second continue to be recognized on this list every semester, and third have a team GPA of 3.5 or higher. Not always an easy task but this fall we accomplished all three with 90% of our roster achieving a 3.0 or better. These girls put in a lot of work to be successful in the classroom, and we have great support from our Office of Student Development, and the other academic services on campus."

The Pirates finished the fall semester with a 3.50 team grade point average and will now become eligible for the Intercollegiate Coach Association Coalition All-Sport Academic Standings. From the spring of 2009 to the spring of 2020, ECU had garnered 23 consecutive Scholar All-America Team semester honors.

Teams must have accumulated at least a 3.0 team grade point average for the fall of 2023 and represent a total 18,716 student-athletes from both the women's and men's teams.

Founded in 1922, the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA), is the nation's first organization of college coaches. The mission of the CSCAA is to advance the sport of swimming and diving with coaches at the epicenter of leadership, advocacy, and professional development.
