ATLANTA (July 21, 2026) – The University of Mount Union women's basketball was named to the 2025-26 WBCA Academic Team Honor Roll special mention announced today by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
 
Mount Union was announced as a special mention team earning a cumulative team GPA of 3.737 which was an impressive improvement of .174 from the year before.
 
A team's GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) earned by the total number of academic hours attempted by all team members in the academic terms (semesters or quarters) that the season spans. Weighted grades are converted to a 4.0 scale. The GPAs are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a point. Teams must be nominated for the honor by their head coach who must be a WBCA member. A team must have a 3.000 or better GPA to be nominated.
