Women’s Golf, Baseball Repeat as GNAC Academic Team Champions
Fully embracing the mission of Yellowjacket Athletics means more than just being competitive on the field. With academics being the primary focus of the 240 student-athletes who compete in the navy and gold, high achievement in the classroom has become a tradition we are proud of. During the 2016-17 season, MSUB’s women’s golf team made GNAC history by tying the highest-ever team GPA in any sport with a mark of 3.74. The Yellowjacket baseball team also claimed the title of GNAC Academic Team Champion, carrying a 3.38 GPA to win the honor for the fourth year in-a-row.
