From a team perspective, 15 of Lehigh’s varsity athletic programs boasted team GPA’s of 3.0 or better during the fall semester; led by the softball team, which earned a 3.45 GPA, which established a new Lehigh academic record for an athletic team in a semester. Not far behind was the Mountain Hawks’ women’s basketball team, which had a team GPA of 3.40, which equaled the old department mark, which they established in the fall of 2003. Every one of Lehigh’s 12 women’s athletics teams had a team GPA of 3.0 or better, while cross country, track and field and golf tied for top honors on the men’s side.
