LSU Beach Earns AVCA Team Academic Award

BATON ROUGE – The LSU Beach Volleyball team earned the AVCA Team Academic Award for the seventh time on Monday after carrying a 3.49 team GPA through the past academic year.

LSU was one of 33 NCAA DI Beach Volleyball programs to earn the award which goes to teams that maintain a year-long grade-point average of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.

The Tigers also had five pairs earn AVCA Top Flight honors, tied for the most pairs by a team to earn the award in a single season. Melia Lindner became LSU’s first beach Elite 90 Award winner.
