GW’s athletic programs have once again earned high NCAA marks, with 13 of 19 teams earning perfect Graduation Success Rate Report scores, up two from a year ago.

The teams earning the marks are women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, women’s rowing, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s water polo and softball. Men’s water polo, men’s cross country and softball are new to the group of teams receiving perfect scores, with women’s tennis earning a 100-percent score in 2008 but earning a 75-percent score this year.

The report indicates that every student-athlete on those teams that enrolled between 1999 and 2002 graduated within six years or transferred in good academic standing.

No GW team had a GSR percentage below 75 in the report.

Eleven of the 13 teams earning perfect scores – all besides men’s and women’s water polo – are members of the Atlantic 10, which put GW first in the conference.
