The Fordham men's team had a GPA of 3.24, , while the Fordham women's team posted a 3.42 team GPA. 
 
Fordham joined Davidson, George Washington, and St. Bonaventure as the only Atlantic 10 schools to have both teams honored.  The women's teams from Richmond, Duquesne, George Mason, La Salle, Saint Louis, and Rhode Island were the other Atlantic 10 teams listed.
 
"This has been a team-oriented goal that our kids always strive for ever since the CSCAA instituted it," said head coach Steve Potsklan.  "We are extremely proud of our student-athletes for the work they do not just in the pool, but in the classroom."
