The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) announced its winners for the 2007-08 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll earlier this week. The Westminster Griffins placed second in the NAIA with a cumulative team G.P.A. of 3.653. Concordia University-Nebraska was the top NAIA team with a 3.667 G.P.A. The 3.653 by the Griffins is the third-best in the entire country regardless of division.

Five schools from the Frontier Conference made the top-25. Along with Westminster were Carroll (9th), Lewis-Clark State (14th), Montana Western (18th), and MSU-Northern (20th).

This award, given in NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, NAIA and Junior College/Community College, awards teams throughout the nation that carry the highest grade point averages (GPA) for the entire season based on the nomination submitted by WBCA-member head coaches.
