Six Teams Record a Perfect Score of 1,000
INDIANAPOLIS – Six University of New Hampshire varsity athletics teams received a perfect score of 1,000 in the multiyear Academic Progress Rate that was released Tuesday by the NCAA as part of its Academic Performance Program.
The six distinguished programs are women's basketball, men's cross country, gymnastics, women's ice hockey, women's skiing and swimming & diving. Those six UNH teams received an APR Public Recognition Award for placing in the top 10 percent of all squads in a specific sport.
The UNH men's cross country team has recorded a perfect score seven consecutive years, while both women's basketball and gymnastics have received a perfect score three consecutive years. Women's hockey and women's skiing have scored at 1,000 in back-to-back years.
A total of nine Wildcat teams recorded a score of 990 or better. In addition to the six aforementioned teams that tallied a perfect score, men's hockey (995), women's track & field (993) and women's soccer (992) also scored higher than 990.
Twelve UNH teams recorded a score better than their respective sport national average; five of those were 10 points or more higher, led by women's basketball at +19 and followed by men's cross country (+16), football (+16), men's ice hockey (+10) and women's track & field (+10).
The swimming & diving team's perfect score marked a +13 improvement from last year, while volleyball improved +12 to 984.
Also of note, 13 of 18 UNH teams had a higher multiyear retention rate than their respective sport national average. Ten of 18 UNH teams were higher than their respective sports for the multiyear eligibility rate.
In the 2022-23 academic year, 12 UNH squads recorded a perfect 1,000 in the APR.
Implemented in 2003 as part of an ambitious academic reform effort in Division I, the Academic Progress Rate (APR) holds institutions accountable for the academic progress of their student-athletes through a team-based metric that accounts for the eligibility and retention of each student-athlete for each academic term.
The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.
Teams must earn a four-year APR of 930 to compete in championships. Every UNH program scored considerably higher than the required score.
