The volleyball team had the highest grade point average of any varsity sport at Syracuse University during the 2001-02 academic year. The Orangewomen combined for a mark of 3.438 following the fall and spring semesters. The volleyball team was tops among seven SU squads that achieved a grade point average greater than a 3.0 for the entire year.
"We're very proud of the team's achievements in the classroom this year," said Syracuse head volleyball coach Jing Pu. "We were able to continue our team tradition of strong academic performance. This was a goal we set at the beginning of the year. Now we are in the process of applying for recognition at the national level through the American Volleyball Coaches Association, which honors the academic achievements of NCAA Division I volleyball programs."
Seven Syracuse University women's volleyball players were named to the Fall 2001 Athletic Director's Honor Roll. Senior setter Noreen Carroll (La Grange, IL/Lyons Township) was named to the 2001 Verizon Academic All-District I team.
The Syracuse volleyball team posted a 14-13 record in 2001.
