COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For a ninth semester in a row, the Emory & Henry College Women's Swimming Team has earned academic honors from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America. The Wasps posted one of the Top 100 grade-point averages in NCAA with a 3.36 cumulative team GPA.

For the fall semester, 163 different NCAA Division III women's programs achieved the Scholar All-America standard. E&H is among five Old Dominion Athletic Conference schools with Scholar All-America Teams. Hollins University (3.56), Washington and Lee University (3.45), Bridgewater College (3.33) and Sweet Briar College (3.05) also received the recognition.
