ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — After posting a tremendous campaign in the sand last spring, the University of New Mexico beach volleyball team posted a stellar semester in the classroom last fall.
The Lobos recorded a team GPA of 3.64 for the Fall 2016 semester, the highest in the five-semester history of the program. It’s fourth semester that the team registered a mark of at least 3.4.
The beach team combined with the rest of the women’s sports at UNM for a 3.55 GPA. It’s the 13th-straight semester of at least a 3.4 by the combined women’s teams, as well.
The Lobos open their third beach volleyball season in just over a month as they take on Benedictine University in Mesa, Ariz., on March 2.
