The national champion Cardinal men’s volleyball team has added another accolade to its historic season.

After winning the school’s second national title on May 6, Stanford made history again as the 13th team in the history of the AVCA Team Academic Award to win both a national championship and the academic award. The team had a GPA of 3.54 and is one of two NCAA Division I teams (along with Harvard) to win the award, which is given to volleyball teams that maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average.

In addition to this team honor, individual Cardinal athletes were also recognized. A total of nine players from the championship squad were named to the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) All-Academic team. The nine included all four Cardinal All-Americans: Brad Lawson, Evan Romero, Erik Shoji and national player of the year Kawika Shoji.

Moreover, starting middle block Garrett Werner earned the Elite 88 Award, which is for the player with the highest GPA in the NCAA Tournament.
