ATLANTA — The University of Iowa women’s basketball team received special mention on the 2024-25 Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll, it was announced Tuesday by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).

The Hawkeyes earned the distinction after posting a 3.495 cumulative team grade point average.

On the court, Iowa earned two wins in the Big Ten Tournament and advanced to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament with a victory over Murray State. The Hawkeyes secured their ninth straight 20-win season, the second-longest streak in program history. In her first year at the helm, head coach Jan Jensen notched the second-most wins by a first-year head coach in program history.

“The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women’s basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew.  “The 119 teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!”

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes college women’s basketball teams across the nation in their respective divisions that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2024-25 season is the 30th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.
