ATLANTA, Ga. – The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) officially announced the 2018-19 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll on Tuesday (July 23). Lewis' women's basketball team was one of 25 Division II teams honored as it finished the 2018-19 academic year with a 3.55 grade-point-average.

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2018-19 season is the 24th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

"The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women's basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom," WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew said. "The 117 teams we honor this year strive achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!"

"We are so proud of this group for their work not only on the court but more importantly in the classroom," Lewis head women's basketball coach Samantha Quigley Smith said. "Adversity occurs academically as well and working through that shows the resiliency of this group.

"To be ranked in the top 25 athletically and academically is certainly not easy and they put in the work to make that happen."

The Flyers closed the 2018-19 season with an overall record of 27-5, made the programs seventh straight trip to the NCAA Tournament and 14th overall. Lewis tips off the 2018-19 campaign on Saturday, November 9th hosting Michigan Tech in the GLVC/GLIAC Challenge at Neil Carey Arena.
