"This is a great accomplishment by our student-athletes with everything they have had to deal with this year," said Director of Athletics Robert C. Vowels, Jr. "Between different practice schedules, competitions, and COVID testing protocols, to be able to handle that and still achieve a great term GPA should make all of us proud!"

Detroit Mercy women's soccer (3.63), women's fencing (3.63), men's lacrosse (3.46), softball (3.43), women's lacrosse (3.39), men's fencing (3.37), women's track and field/cross country program (3.38) and the Titan men's soccer squad (3.34) also achieved higher than a team GPA of 3.3 this past semester.

Thirty-four (34) Titan student-athletes posted a perfect 4.0 GPA during the spring semester, including nine women's soccer student-athletes.
