LAWRENCE, Kan. — The United States Marine Corps and the American Volleyball Coaches Association announced today that 1,333 collegiate and high school volleyball teams have earned the USMC/AVCA Team Academic Award this season, and Kansas was one of the teams that made the prestigious list.

In addition to this already-impressive award, the Jayhawks also earned Honor Roll Distinction, which is awarded to the teams with GPAs in the top 20% of their division.
