Following a successful year in the classroom, the University of Rochester women's basketball team was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) NCAA Division III Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls, earning special mention status, as announced by the WBCA on Tuesday.
 
The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes college women's basketball teams across the nation in their respective divisions that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. A team must have a combined GPA of 3.0 or better and be nominated by its head coach who must be a member of the WBCA to be recognized. The 2025-26 season is the 31st in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.
 
"The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women's basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom," WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew said. 
 
The Yellowjackets compiled a 3.482 Team GPA to earn special mention status, the third time in five seasons they've earned the honor under Head Coach Jim Schieble.
