What It Means to Be a Student-Athlete at St. Edward’s Athletics at St. Edward’s University goes far beyond simple wins and losses. It extends past conference championships and national tournaments. At St. Edward’s, student-athletes are challenged to think critically and creatively and to strive for academic excellence. They participate in meaningful service activities and make a difference in the community. In other words, they embody the mission of St. Edward’s.

Academic Excellence 3.20 • Sixty-three percent of all student-athletes at St. Edward’s posted a 3.0 GPA or better during The combined GPA for all student-athletes at the Fall 2007 semester.

Women’s tennis, women’s soccer and volleyball all achieved team GPAs above 3.5 for the 2007–2008 academic year. Baseball, men’s basketball and women’s tennis compiled the highest GPAs in the Heartland Conference in their respective sports. Women’s soccer, volleyball and men’s soccer each received a team academic award by their respective sport governing body. • Twenty-eight student-athletes at St. Edward’s achieved a 4.0 GPA in Fall 2007, while 29 student-athletes earned a 4.0 GPA in Spring 2008.

This is 13 percent higher than the NCAA Division II aggregate academic success rate of 69 percent.

Community Service Student-athletes at St. Edward’s assisted more than 40 campus and community organizations during the 2007–2008 academic year.

Facility Upgrades • Prior to the 2008 season, St. Edward’s completed its renovation of the baseball dugouts and batting cage facility.

The batting cage was updated with concrete and turf that improved the overall quality of the hitting facility. • The university recently completed work on a 2,800-square-foot covered batting facility at Diane Daniels Softball Field. The facility is lighted and open-air with the possibility of being enclosed in the future. The batting cage features two netted areas for hitting, a large space for a variety of drills and turf for safety. • The student-athlete weight room was given a facelift last spring. Several new pieces of Precor and functional-training equipment were added and athletic rubber flooring was installed to enhance the Hilltopper strength-training and weight room. athletics Annual Report 3
