Georgia College was one of two teams from the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) on the list, joining the University of Montevallo.

"2016-17 was such a huge year for us in the classroom and on the court," said Krumdieck. "All of the accolades this team has received this past year are phenomenal and I am so proud of this award. I'm so grateful to the AVCA for recognizing programs that achieve their high academic standards. This is award is something the team strives for each year."
