The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Hilo Women’s Basketball Team<\/a> earned special mention status in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA<\/abbr>) Academic Team Honor Roll. To be selected, a program must post at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA<\/abbr> for the 2021–22 season. The Vulcans had a team GPA<\/abbr> of 3.22, and eight players on the team had a 3.3 GPA<\/abbr> or higher.<\/p>\n

“The WBCA<\/abbr> family of coaches is committed to the student-athlete experience and celebrates these teams that have demonstrated excellence in the classroom,” said WBCA<\/abbr> Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “This year’s WBCA<\/abbr> Academic Top 25 is a powerful list of teams and their head coaches who have winning cultures that prepare their student-athletes for success in life. This is no small feat considering the rigors of playing college athletics.”<\/p>\n

The Vulcans had an outstanding 2021–22 season. Picked in the Pacific West Conference Preseason Poll to finish ninth, the team rolled to a 14-10 overall record and a conference tournament berth. Head coach David Kaneshiro<\/strong> was also named the PacWest Coach of the Year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
