The streak dates back to fall 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the 16 teams finished the term greater than a 3.0, led by a 3.62 from women&#8217;s basketball. Women&#8217;s cross country and volleyball each posted greater than a 3.50. The men&#8217;s teams were led by golf&#8217;s 3.49.<\/p>\n<p>More than 30 percent of student-athletes earned academic honors during the semester. Forty-three finished with a perfect 4.0 semester for a spot on the Presidential List while 51 earned between a 3.75 and 3.99 for Dean&#8217;s List honors.<\/p>\n<p>Blake Barnes from men&#8217;s soccer and Natasha Habert from volleyball earned recognition on the Capital One Academic All-District teams. The Mountain Lions placed six student-athletes on the fall RMAC All-Academic First Team and 29 more earned Honor Roll accolades.<\/p>\n<p>Success in the classroom was joined by success in competition during the fall. Women&#8217;s soccer won the RMAC Tournament and advanced to the national semifinals. Women&#8217;s cross country qualified for the national championships for the fifth time in the last six seasons, and men&#8217;s cross country qualified David Kimaiyo for the national meet. Men&#8217;s soccer and volleyball each reached their respective conference tournaments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>UCCS student-athletes earned a departmental 3.28 grade point average in the fall 2017 semester and extended the Mountain Lions&#8217; streak with a GPA greater than 3.0 to 27 semesters. <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=29532\" title=\"Student-athletes extend 3.0+ GPA streak to 27 semesters\">(More)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":29533,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,25,49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-athletics","category-campus-announcements"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/fall-gpa-2017.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mBpJ-7Gk","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29532"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29605,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29532\/revisions\/29605"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/29533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
