MUNCIE, Ind. –The National Field Hockey Coaches Association honored teams with academic excellence Wednesday afternoon. The Cardinals were one of the squads awarded the 2016 ZAG Field Hockey/NFHCA Division I National Academic Team Award.
As a team, the Cardinals tied for fifth in the country for the highest grade-point average, marking a team GPA of 3.56. Ball State is tied with American University and Temple University.
The NFHCA gives the National Academic Team Award to teams that achieved a combined GPA of 3.0 or higher during the fall semester of the 2016-17 academic year. Ball State was one of 75 teams in the nation to be honored with this award, along with the other six Mid-American Conference teams.
The 2016 Ball State field hockey team excelled in the classroom and also on the field. The Cardinals finished the season 8-11 and made it to the MAC Tournament for the first time since 2011.
