• There were 42 4.0 GPAs for the year which tied The Citadel for the second-highest total in the conference. It's also a school record besting 39 in the spring of 2022. Soccer had the most among individual programs with 11.
• 99 Commissioner's Medals were awarded to Mocs which is also second in the conference. That requires a 3.8 or better over the 2025-26 academic year. That's another school record bettering 83 which dates back to spring 2015. Soccer once again topped the program list with 21.
• A total of 251 Chattanooga student-athletes made the SoCon Honor Roll. That requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 for the academic year as 82.8 percent of eligible Mocs exceeded the threshold. That 251 is just three shy of the record 254 set one year ago.
