Bluejays owned the seventh-best GPA nationally with a 3.852 GPA
CORAL SPRINGS, Florida – For the second straight year, the Creighton women's golf team has been honored for having the seventh-best GPA in Division I, the sixth time in the last 10 years that the Bluejays have been recognized.
The Women's Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar Team GPA Awards recognize the women's collegiate golf programs with the highest collective average team GPA which includes all of the team's student-athletes for the 2022-23 season. Creighton's 3.852 GPA leads all BIG EAST schools and is just behind national leader Marshall (3.945).
Earlier this month, Creighton had six women recognized by the WGCA as All-American Scholars. Those Bluejay honorees included freshmen Mia Gaboriau and Annika Yturralde, sophomores Eleanor Hudepohl and Katherine Lemke and seniors Gabby Tremblay and Katie Allen. All eight women on the 2022-23 roster landed on Creighton Dean's List in 2022-23, with four women owning perfect 4.00 GPA's in both semesters. The Bluejays are coached by Debbie Conry.
In recent seasons, Creighton was fourth in 2014-15, fifth in 2013-14, 21st in 2015-16, 24th in 2020-21 and seventh in 2021-22 in the national race to pace the overall WGCA All-Scholar Team GPA Award standings.
