Seniors Ashleigh Whisenant and Julia Gerlach led the wave of Memphis players on the list of 828 players from across the country who posted a GPA of 3.50 or higher to earn the academic honor. Junior Leighann Cabush and sophomore Emily Goldenstein each earned repeat honors, while freshman Sydney Colwill made her first appearance on the list.

Cabush, a 2013 American Athletic Conference all-conference honoree, returns as one of two seniors for Memphis in 2016-17. She won individual medalist honors at the FIU Pat Bradley Invitational last fall and posted three top five and four top 20 finishes while competing in all nine events.
Goldenstein is also a repeat honoree on the academic list. As a sophomore, she competed in eight of the nine team events and posted three top 10 finishes and four top 20 finishes, including a tie for 20th with Cabush at the American Athletic Conference Championships.
