Throughout the 2010–11 academic year, University of the Sciences student-athletes excelled not only on the field of play but also in the classroom. The 142 student athletes on USciences’ 12 NCAA Division II teams had a combined grade point average (GPA) of 3.214, with 40 students achieving a 3.5 or higher and 53 making the Dean’s List for the spring semester (3.4 or higher).
Students on the men’s tennis, mixed rifle, and women’s volleyball teams had the highest GPAs of the 12 teams with 3.421, 3.380, and 3.360, respectively. Individually, standouts included BRAD DRISCOLL PharmD’15, representing the mixed rifle team, with a 3.71 GPA, who was named the 2010–11 Philadelphia Inquirer Men’s At-Large Academic All-Area Performer of the Year. Also pursuing a doctor of pharmacy degree and representing women’s basketball, with a 3.97 GPA, MELISSA ROTZ PharmD’12 (shown at right) was the Academic All-Area Women’s Basketball Co-Performer of the Year on the Inquirer list.
