SIU, Loyola, and Bradley were the three Valley teams that earned this award.
The Salukis posted a 3.158 GPA in fall 2019, which was the highest GPA for the program on record, and the program shattered that mark with a 3.706 program GPA in spring 2020. Barret Benson earned Academic All-District and MVC Scholar-Athlete team honors, with a perfect 4.0 GPA in his master's program.
Keep up the good work!!

Awesome job by the players, coaching staff, and educators who ensure these guys have what they need to succeed in the classroom.
This is AWESOME!! Great work! I’m very proud of this team.
3.706 as a team is amazing. another reason why I renewed my tickets and they can keep the money whether fans are allowed or not.
