The Montana State women’s basketball team, who won regular season and Big Sky Conference Tournament titles last winter, completed the trifecta earning the top team GPA among its peer programs.
For the third-consecutive year, the Big Sky Conference has announced its Team Academic Champions, highlighting the top team academically across all sponsored sports for the 2024-25 athletic calendar.
"Since implementing these awards three years ago, it's been fun to see the great teamwork we have on our campuses not only on the playing surface, but in the classroom as well," Commissioner Tom Wistrcill said. "Congratulations to our Team Academic Champions for the 2024-25 season and keep lifting each other up in all your endeavors."
The Montana State women's basketball team, who won regular season and Big Sky Conference Tournament titles last winter, completed the trifecta earning the top team GPA among its peer programs. As a team, the Bobcats finished with a 3.73 GPA.
Twelve Montana State players earned Big Sky All-Academic honors this past season, including Taylee Chirrick, Lexi Deden, Marah Dykstra, Teagan Erickson, Addison Harris, Taylor Janssen, Ella Johnson, Katelynn Martin, Esmeralda Morales, Natalie Picton, Dylan Philip, and Hannah Robbins.
Montana State also finished 14th in the nation in team GPA. It marked the seventh time in program history- all under the watch of head coach Tricia Binford- that the Bobcats have been a top 15 academic squad as honored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association.
