Erin Streit

Erin Streit, of Hartley, was a member of the Buena Vista University women's basketball team which sits atop all of Division III with the top Team GPA for the 2019-20 season.

The Women's Basketball Coaches Association Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year programs' GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season.

BVU's team GPA for the season was 3.865. That average was the highest by any team on any level for this past season and is the highest among any level over the last 19 seasons.

It marks the second time in program history that the Beavers have been tops in Division III. The first came back in 2003-04 when BVU led the way with a 3.603. The Beavers have been among the Top-25 four times, including twice over the last three seasons.

A team's GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of quality points (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0) earned by the total number of academic hours attempted by all team members in the academic terms (semesters or quarters) that the season spans. Weighted grades are converted to a 4.0 scale. The GPAs are rounded to the nearest thousandth of a point.


Teams are nominated for the honor by the WBCA member head coach. A team must have a 3.0 or better GPA to be nominated.
