The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its annual Academic Team Honor Roll on Wednesday, recognizing the Milwaukee women's basketball team on the special mention list.

The Panthers concluded the 2023-24 academic year with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.529.

Milwaukee is one of five Horizon League teams to earn this honor and one of 123 Division I programs to achieve a cumulative GPA greater than 3.00 on a 4.00 scale.

"The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women's basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "The teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!"

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, and two-year college women's basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2023-24 season marks the 29th year in which the WBCA has compiled these honor rolls.
