Western's Softball Team Ranked in Top 10 in GPA
The Fighting Leatherneck softball team finished the 2008-09 season with an overall 3.446 team grade point average, which is good enough for ninth best in the nation. This is now the second straight year the Western softball team has been recognized for their excellence in the classroom.
“I am very proud of our girls because they work very hard on and off the field,” said Western Illinois head coach Holly Van Vlymen. “It was a goal we set last year to break into the top 10 and it’s exciting for the girls to reach their goals.”
Robert Morris was ranked number one with a 3.610 grade point average. The Florida Gators were the only other team, besides Western, to rank in the top ten in GPA and to win their regular-season conference championship as the Gators were ranked fifth.
