MOREHEAD, Ky. -- All Morehead State athletic teams have reached the National Collegiate Athletic Association's multi-year or single year Academic Progress Rate (APR) threshold of 930. The NCAA's latest study covers the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 school years.
The Morehead State volleyball and women's golf programs recorded a perfect 1,000 during all four years in the cohort, while men's basketball, women's basketball, women's golf, soccer, women's volleyball, and rifle also turned in perfect scores during the report's most recent school year.
"Congratulations to all of our student-athletes, especially those associated with the perfect scores," said assistant director of academic advising and retention Sara Larson. "I enjoy working at Morehead State because our coaches are committed to recruiting quality student-athletes who will succeed in both the classroom and their playing venues."
In addition to the perfect multi-year score from volleyball and women's golf, soccer (988) scored better than a 980 during the four-year period.
Softball (986) scored better than 980 in the single year report.
Women's basketball, women's golf, soccer, volleyball, and rifle tallied a 1,000 for eligibility/graduation in 2015-16, while men's basketball, women's basketball, women's golf, soccer, volleyball, and rifle earned a maximum score for retention.
The NCAA's multi-year APR is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort. The APR provides a real-time look at and full assessment of each team's academic performance by tracking the progress of every student-athlete on scholarship each semester. It takes into account eligibility, retention and graduation.
