STARKVILLE – The Mississippi State women's tennis team has been recognized by the NCAA for achieving a multi-year Academic Progress Rate in the top 10 percent of teams around the nation.
The Bulldogs recorded a perfect APR of 1,000 to earn the APR Public Recognition Award for the fourth-straight season.
"This is a great achievement for our team and program," head coach Daryl Greenan said. "We strive to develop the best student-athletes in the country, with success both on the court and in the classroom. We place a high priority on academics here at MSU and I'm proud that we not only met that standard, but also did so for the fourth year in a row."
Since 2014-15, Greenan's squads have posted an impressive 88-59 record and six-consecutive winning seasons. During that time, State defeated 36 ranked opponents in dual match play and made four NCAA appearances.
Each year, the NCAA honors selected Division 1 sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR). This announcement is part of the overall Division 1 academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams that demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. Specifically, these teams posted multiyear APRs in the top 10 percent of all squads in each sport.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
