The UNC women's basketball team has received special mention as part of the 2023-24 WBCA Academic Top 25 Team Honor Rolls for earning a team grade point average above 3.0 for the last academic year.

The WBCA (Women's Basketball Coaches Association) Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and two-year college women's basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2023-24 season is the 29th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

Youngstown State finished first among NCAA Division I members with a 3.868 cumulative team grade-point average. Ashland claimed top academic honors in NCAA Division II with a 3.875 GPA. Williams took top honors in NCAA Division III with a 3.856 GPA. Sterling was No. 1 in the NAIA division with a 3.831 GPA. Folsom Lake finished atop the two-year college standings with a 3.564 GPA.

"The WBCA is pleased to recognize those women's basketball programs that have committed themselves to excellence on the court and in the classroom," said WBCA Executive Director Danielle Donehew. "The 112 teams we honor this year strive to achieve all-around success and we commend their efforts. Congratulations!"
