The 2014 IHSA Elite Eight IC Catholic Prep Knights Girls Volleyball Team have been named the recipients of an American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) team academic award. The Knights have earned this recognition in 22 of the award’s 23 years and was one of a record 757 teams nationwide (high school and college) to earn the honor.

The award, which was initiated in the 1992-1993 academic year, honors collegiate and high-school volleyball teams that displayed excellence in the classroom during the school year by maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale.
