Here at Iona we are always talking about how important academics are for our players and how successful they will be when they attend Iona College. Last week, the NCAA released the most recent APR scores. The APR is a score calculated by the NCAA indicating team academic performance. Under the NCAA rules, teams scoring below 925 on a 1000 point scale are penalized.
In the NCAA's latest APR, the Iona College Women's Basketball Team was one of 909 teams that earned the NCAA Public Recognition Awards, based on our most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rates. Other schools included on the prestigious list are Princeton, Holy Cross, Darmouth, Lehigh,Michigan and Villanova to name a few. These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs.
Our program has earned this the honor for the SECOND straight year and is the only Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference program to be honored during the time frame. The program holds a 996 APR, the highest among MAAC programs. Iona is one of 30 Division I women's basketball programs to earn the award in back-to-back years.
"I'm extremely proud of our program's accomplishments both on and off the floor and it's a tremendous honor to be recognized nationally for the second straight year for our efforts in the classroom," said women's basketball head coach Anthony Bozzella. "It's a privilege to be able to mentor such well-rounded young ladies."
