Greenville, SC (2/8/19): The National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) is
pleased to announce the Fall 2018 Scholar Teams.
To be eligible for this award, teams need a minimum grade point average of 3.40 on a 4.00 scale for all combined student-athletes on the team. There are 24 institutions represented in the list of 46 Scholar Teams below. Congratulations to each student-athlete, team, and institution on earning this award.
If you caught yourself thinking athletic ability was all that mattered in Warner University Athletics, we're here to tell you that you're wrong. Out of 46 teams in the nation to accomplish a team Grade Point Average of 3.4 or better, Warner University placed two teams not only on the list, but second best in the nation.
Warner University Women's Volleyball with 17 players on their roster, averaged 3.77 on a 4.0 GPA scale placing themselves above 37 other women's teams in the country only falling behind Southern Wesleyan University's Women's golf team who posted a 3.79 average.
If being named NCCAA South regional CHAMPIONS, making it to the NCCAA National Championship tournament for the first time in program history wasn't enough, or being named the NCCAA 2018 NISOA sportsmanship award winners wasn't enough, the Warner University Men's Soccer program was one of only five Men's athletic teams in the nation to be named a 2018 scholar team. The Royals Men's Soccer team which carries a roster of 29 players, averaged 3.66 on a 4.0 GPA scale as a team only trailing Trinity Christian College Men's Golf team who averaged a 3.81 GPA with only 9 athletes on their roster… WOW! The Royals tied Biola Universities Men's Golf team with a 3.66 GPA.
Congratulations to Warner University Women's Volleyball and Warner University Men's Soccer for being named two of the most intelligent teams in the nation!
