They did it again!

South Dakota State University’s women’s basketball team leads all women’s college basketball teams[*1] , from all divisions, in team grade point average again in 2007-08, as compiled by the WBCA[*2] :

NCAA Division I
South Dakota State is making quite a name for itself on the WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll as the Jackrabbits secured the top spot amongst NCAA Division I institutions for the third consecutive season. In addition to compiling the top GPA in their division, Aaron Johnston’s team also claims the top overall team GPA amongst all divisions which is yet another distinction they have captured for the third year in a row. Aside from its classroom successes, South Dakota State also enjoyed another great year on the court as the Jackrabbits advanced to the Women’s NIT before falling in the first round to Creighton.

“The women on our team have made our entire university and community very proud,” said Johnston. “They have truly committed themselves to success in the classroom, on the court and in the community. Being recognized for the top GPA the third consecutive year is a tremendous accomplishment for our student-athletes.”

That’s three straight #1 finishes for the Jackrabbits.

Try to top that, Tennessee!
