Posting an impressive 3.70 team GPA, this year marks the 11th time in 12 seasons that the Lady Raiders have come away with ITA's prestigious team award. Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and West Virginia were the other Big 12 teams to receive academic nods.

Individually, seven Lady Raiders were named ITA Scholar-Athletes. Lana Rush and Francesca Sella represented the Lady Raiders' senior class while Reagan Collins was the lone junior to earn academic honors. Additionally, freshmen Kennedy Bridgforth, Isa Di Laura, Sydney Jones and Denise-Antonela Stoica all picked up the postseason accolade.
