ATLANTA — Western Illinois women's basketball landed itself second in the 2017-18 Women's Basketball Coaches Association Division I Academic Honor Roll. The Leathernecks compiled a 3.751 team grade point average last season, which was only .02 behind top-ranked Green Bay.

"I'm extremely proud of our team for their performance in the classroom," head coach JD Gravina said. "This group is just special. They are a great combination of basketball talent, high academic achievers, and amazing character student-athletes. They have set the bar so high for this program, and we will continue to strive to reach new heights."
