ATLANTA – For the fifth consecutive season the Augustana women's basketball program landed inside the top-25 of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Team Honor Roll announced by the WBCA on Tuesday. 

With a team grade-point average of 3.665, the Vikings have the 10th best GPA in Division II and improved on last year's team GPA of 3.634.

The WBCA Academic Top-25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year GPA's inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2018-19 season is the 24th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

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 GPA's are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a point. Teams are nominated for the honor by the WBCA member head coach. A team must have a 3.000 or better GPA to be nominated.
