MACON, Ga. - The Mercer beach volleyball team earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association Team Academic Award sponsored by INTENT for their achievements in the classroom during the 2024-25 academic school year.

"It is very exciting to see that the record-setting, on-court successes during the 2024-25 season have extended to the classroom," says AVCA CEO Jamie Gordon.
