BROOKLYN, N.Y. - The College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association (CSCAA) has named the LIU Brooklyn women's swimming team to its Scholar All-America team for the Spring 2019 Semester. It is the eighth straight semester the team has earned the honor.  A record 480 institutions were named to the list, highlighted by LIU's GPA of 3.58.

"Success in the classroom is always the primary goal of our program," head coach Matt Donovan said. "This is a tremendous recognition, and we could not have done it without the great professors here at LIU, and the help of our academic advisor, David Sison."

CSCAA Executive Director Greg Earhart noted: "Coach Donovan is an up-and-comer that has built one of our nation's top academic performers."

A record number of teams achieved Scholar All-America status in each NCAA Division. At 3.45, the median GPA among women's teams was the highest on record. The CSCAA will announce its individual Scholar All-Americans next week.
