GREELEY, Colo. – The University of Northern Colorado women's basketball team has earned special mention on the 2024-25 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll, as announced by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). Under the leadership of head coach Kristen Mattio, the Bears posted a 3.536 overall team GPA for the academic year.
The WBCA Academic Top 25 Honor Roll recognizes the highest-performing women's basketball programs in the classroom across NCAA Divisions I, II, and III, as well as NAIA and two-year colleges. The rankings include the cumulative GPAs of all student-athletes on each team's roster throughout the season. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the WBCA's celebration of academic achievement in women's basketball.
The Bears were one of just three programs from the Big Sky Conference to earn this distinction.
This recognition highlights the ongoing tradition of academic excellence within UNC Athletics and reflects the dedication of UNC's student-athletes, coaching staff, and academic support team to achieving success both on and off the court.
