GREENSBORO, N.C. – The TCNJ baseball team earned the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award for 2021-22, announced Wednesday by the ABCA.
 
Teams needed to surpass a 3.0 GPA for the 2021-22 academic year, and the Lions breezed past that requirement. TCNJ baseball players posted a 3.31 GPA in the fall semester and a 3.19 GPA during the spring semester.
 
The Lions were one of just five teams in the NJAC to earn the honor.
