Overview
The Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) announced its national academic team awards Thursday afternoon after recently sharing individual All-American Scholars. The Chattanooga Mocs again took center stage with a top 15 ranking in team GPA for the 2025-26 athletic season.
 
The squad's 3.88 was 13th overall behind St. John's and ahead of Elon and Vanderbilt rounding out the top 15. Houston Christian posted the top mark of 3.947. The Mocs total is the best single academic year in school history. That No. 13 mark was posted for DI, but the squad also eclipsed every school in DII, DIII and NAIA competition.
 
Quotable
"This recognition shows the work ethic of our student-athletes. In coaching and recruiting, I look for student-athletes who are driven to make the most of their entire collegiate experience. Receiving this award tells me a lot about our team and makes me even more excited about the future of our program." – first-year Head Coach Annie Schmidt
