MACON, Ga. - The Coastal Collegiate Sports Assocation (CCSA) honored 98 Beach Volleyball Student-Athletes with the distinction of being named to the 2016 CCSA Honor Roll, the conference announced on Friday afternoon.

To be eligible for the distinction, CCSA Beach Volleyball student-athletes excelled in the classroom during the fall semester of the 2015-16 academic calendar year. 

CCSA Honor Roll Honors will be earned by all student-athletes who earned a minimum of a 3.0 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale at the conclusion of the past fall semester’s grades. If you had student-athletes take ONLY pass/fail during classes the 2015 fall semester, that student’s current semester grades may be used to determine CCSA Honor Roll status by filing an additional form at the conclusion of the current semester. The student-athlete must have passed all classes taken during the fall semester.

For the first Beach Volleyball year in CCSA history, 98 student-athletes from the eight institutions were honored. 23 of those earned a perfect 4.0 GPA during the fall semester. Georgia State led the way with seven student-athletes earning a 4.0, while South Carolina and UAB each had five honorees earn perfect grades. Florida Atlantic and LSU saw two student-athletes honored each, with FIU and Tulane rounding out the 23 honorees.
