With a team grade point average of 3.37, the 麻豆传媒社区入口 women's swim team has been named a College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Team for the fall of 2015.

This marks the sixth straight year the Pioneers have captured Scholar All-America honors under head coach Ben Loorz. 

East Bay is one 354 colleges and universities across the nation to earn the award, which recognizes swim and dive teams that achieved at least at 3.0 grade point average for the 2015 fall semester/quarter.

The Pioneers placed among the top squads in Division II. CSUEB is one of just three Division II institutions in the West to claim Scholar All-America honors, joining UC San Diego and Cal Baptist.

“College swimming is a complete preparation for life, where our athletes see the results of goal-setting, perseverance and personal accountability,” said USA Swimming National Team Director Frank Busch. “These values that make swimmers successful in the pool are also what make them stand out in the classroom and become high achievers in their careers after college.” 

"Some would argue that swimmers and divers have some of the most demanding practice schedules, but we find that in most cases their athletic drive and academic goals simply reinforce one another," said CSCAA Executive Director Joel Shinofield. 

After wrapping up an impressive regular season last week with their seventh dual meet victory, the Pioneers are now in preparation for the Pacific Collegiate Swim Conference (PCSC) Championships, taking place Feb. 12-15 at East Los Angeles College.
