South Carolina Women’s Basketball Scores Big in the Classroom with Record-High GPA
Under the legendary guidance of head coach Dawn Staley, South Carolina’s women’s basketball program has become a dominant force in the sport—boasting three national championships, seven Final Four appearances, and 18 SEC titles. But the Gamecocks’ excellence isn’t limited to the hardwood.
In a recent announcement, South Carolina revealed that the women’s basketball team achieved a program-best 3.672 GPA for the spring semester—marking a new academic high point for the squad. The news, shared via the team’s official social media accounts, quickly garnered widespread applause from fans across the country.
“Awesome! Big congrats ladies getting it done in the classroom as well as on the court. Love this!” one supporter wrote.
“This is the type of ‘MOTION’ to have. A great education goes a long way,” added another.
Balancing championship-level basketball with academic excellence is no small feat—but in Columbia, it’s the standard. Coach Staley and her staff have built a program that emphasizes discipline, character, and long-term success both on and off the court.
While another deep postseason run is likely on the horizon for Staley’s powerhouse team, one thing is already clear: the Gamecocks are winning where it matters most—on the scoreboard and in the classroom.
