MISSION, Kan. --- The UAB women's soccer team added another postseason honor by receiving the 2002 NSCAA Team Academic Award. The award is given to programs that achieve a 3.0 GPA or higher as a team during the 2001-02 academic year.

"Our players have taken on the challenge of being one of the top academic programs in the country," said UAB head coach Paul Harbin. "It's great to see their efforts recognized in this matter."

In all, 67 men's and 213 women's programs earned the award. A total of 42 institutions garned the accolade for both its men's and women's sides. The awards will be presented at the College Coaches Luncheon Thursday, Jan. 16, during the 2003 NSCAA Convention held in Kansas City, Mo.
