[July 14, 2011]  ATLANTA, Ga. -- The Lincoln College women's basketball team does it again. This is the 13th straight year the Lynx women's basketball team has placed in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll.

HardwareThe WBCA Academic Top 25 annually recognizes teams from NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, and junior and community colleges across the nation that carry the highest combined grade-point averages inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2010-11 season is the 16th in which the WBCA has presented the standings.

The Lynx, coached by Carol Wilson, have the most appearances of any team in any division in this year's honor rolls.

"When you look at the context of all of the schools involved with this award, it speaks volumes for what coach Wilson has done with her basketball teams in the classroom! To be represented in this postseason award against all NCAA schools and to be in the Top 25 for 13th straight years says Lincoln College is getting it done where it counts most -- in the classroom," said Kirk Whiteman, assistant athletic director.
