With a team GPA of 3.31, the Colonials were one of eight Atlantic 10 schools recognized. The honor marks GW men's soccer's sixth all-time selection for the award after also earning it in 2004, 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2015.
Seventeen members of GW's 2015 squad posted a GPA of 3.0 or higher in both semesters last academic year.
