Record-Breaking Academic Semester on the Hilltop

    WEST LIBERTY, W.Va. – West Liberty University's student-athletes overcame the disruption of a nationwide pandemic, the transition from on-campus to online instruction and the early and abrupt termination of the spring sports season to produce the most successful academic semester in the history of the Hilltopper athletic department.
    The 464 student-athletes from WLU's 18 intercollegiate sports achieved a department-record combined 3.25 GPA in the spring. It marked the fourth straight semester with a combined GPA of 3.00 or higher as 13 of the 18 teams – including all nine women's squads – reached or exceeded the 3.00 team GPA plateau.
