LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Clarion University claimed the PSAC Top Team GPA Award in women's volleyball for the 2012-2013 school year.
 
The Golden Eagles women's volleyball program, which qualified for the NCAA Division II Tournament for the ninth time in the past 11 years, carried a team GPA of 3.583 with 14 team members earning PSAC Scholar-Athlete accolades, which is awarded to a PSAC-member student-athlete who has a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or above.
 
In addition, Hannah Heeter, who will be a senior, was also named the PSAC Pete Nevins Scholar-Athlete of the Year (regardless of sport) earlier in the week. Heeter, who also stars for Clarion's women's basketball team, has a GPA of 3.957 in biology/pre-med.
