For the first time, Concordia (Wis.) claims the No. 1 position on the WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Roll, with the top team GPA in Division III women's basketball. The Falcons claimed back-to-back Northern Athletic Conference regular season titles and made a run at the tournament title this season, but fell short losing by just two points in overtime. Coach Stacey Brunner's club finished the season with 20 wins and just seven losses.

"This is an outstanding accomplishment," said Brunner. "Like so many universities, we strive to be No. 1 off the court as well as on! I am so proud of our players for reaching this goal!"
