ABCA Team Academic Excellence Award Winners

GREENSBORO, N.C. – For the third year in a row and the fourth time in the last five years, the Drew University baseball team was honored for its performance in the classroom with the American Baseball Coaches Association's (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award, presented by Sports Attack.
 
The Rangers were one of more than 800 college and high school programs who were recognized with the 11th annual award, which honors teams that are coached by ABCA members and have posted a grade-point average over 3.0 for the academic year. Drew finished with a 3.20 GPA as nearly 500 collegiate programs and more than 320 high school programs were recognized with this year's award.

Drew also collected individual academic honors this past season, as 16 Rangers earned a spot on the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll, including one who was named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team.

Drew finished the season with a 25-17 record, posting the second-most wins in team history, and went 13-11 in Landmark Conference play to earn the No. 5 seed in the conference's postseason tournament. The Rangers went on to upset top-seeded Wilkes in the opening round for the squad's first postseason victory in 14 years.
