The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo Women’s Basketball Team earned special mention status in the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Academic Team Honor Roll. To be selected, a program must post at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA for the 2021–22 season. The Vulcans had a team GPA of 3.22, and eight players on the team had a 3.3 GPA or higher.
“The WBCA family of coaches is committed to the student-athlete experience and celebrates these teams that have demonstrated excellence in the classroom,” said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. “This year’s WBCA Academic Top 25 is a powerful list of teams and their head coaches who have winning cultures that prepare their student-athletes for success in life. This is no small feat considering the rigors of playing college athletics.”
The Vulcans had an outstanding 2021–22 season. Picked in the Pacific West Conference Preseason Poll to finish ninth, the team rolled to a 14-10 overall record and a conference tournament berth. Head coach David Kaneshiro was also named the PacWest Coach of the Year.
