GREENSBORO, N.C. – The American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) announced their Team Academic Excellence Award winners for the 2024-25 school year on Wednesday morning, where the Corban University Baseball program was selected for a second-consecutive season after once again clearing the cumulative GPA requirement and representing one of two teams in the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) to do so during the 2025 spring slate. The Navy and Gold secured a 3.28 cumulative team GPA over the course of the past school year and had nine student-athletes selected to NAIA Scholar-Athlete status.

"It's truly an honor to receive this recognition from the ABCA for a consecutive year," said Warriors' head coach Ryan Harris. "It takes a village to be able to achieve these types of accomplishments, and I would like to thank all the staff and faculty that have served our student-athletes. Here at Corban, we have a very special community that truly loves our students, and these awards don't happen without them. I'm very proud of our team and their pursuit of academic excellence."

The American Baseball Coaches Association has a long tradition of recognizing the achievements of baseball coaches and student-athletes. The ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams are the nation's oldest, founded in 1949, and the ABCA's awards program also includes the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Awards, the ABCA/ATEC Regional & National Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame and the Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.

The Warriors are one of 36 NAIA programs honored by the ABCA this summer for their performances in the classroom and join I-5 rival Bushnell University as the only representatives from the Pacific Northwest. Nearly 750 programs between the varying levels of NCAA, NAIA, and junior college baseball along with numerous high school teams were celebrated today by the ABCA, with a minimum cumulative team GPA of 3.00 on a 4.00 scale separating the honorees from the remainder of the field. 440 of the 750 programs came from the collegiate baseball realm, while the final 300 teams are high school affiliated programs who all achieved the outstanding academic achievement.
