Earlier this week, three Northwest teams were awarded by the league for having the highest team GPAs in their respective sports. Women's Tennis (3.85), volleyball (3.77), and women's soccer (3.73) were each recognized for their achievements.
Although they did not earn MACCC Academic Team of the Year accolades this season, every other Northwest team that competes in the NJCAA also finished with 3.0 GPAs or higher. Women's golf led the way with a 3.76, followed by softball at 3.73, and men's golf with a 3.71.
Men's Tennis garnered a 3.44, while Northwest baseball posted a 3.34, followed by football at 3.16, and women's basketball at 3.15. Men's basketball, with a 3.10, and men's soccer at 3.03, round out the academic highlights for the Rangers.
Under the guidance of athletic academic advisors
Charlesy Kennedy and Tori Fugatt, Northwest student-athletes had a strong year in the classroom. A total of 196 Rangers earned recognition to the Fall 2025 Athletic Director's Honor Roll, with 157 being selected for the Spring 2026 semester.
