At the top of their class
La Salle Athletics ranked No. 1 nationally in student-athlete graduation success rate, among all Division I programs, according to the NCAA’s latest report. La Salle tied for the top spot in the nation with a near-perfect score of 99, and was matched by other elite academic institutions – Columbia, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Holy Cross, Lafayette, and Yale. “La Salle student-athletes have proven year after year that they are fantastic representatives of our institution, both on the fields of play and in the classroom,” Vice President for Athletics and Recreation Brian Baptiste said. “The student-athlete experience at La Salle, to which our department is steadfastly committed, is centered around teaching and learning – two primary tenants of the Lasallian educational mission. We are thrilled that the hard work of our student-athletes has been recognized. This is a significant achievement that all Explorers should be proud of.” A total of 11 La Salle teams registered perfect scores of 100 and the overall department score was first among all Atlantic 10 schools. The 11 sport programs to score perfectly include men’s basketball, women’s basketball, men’s cross country/track & field, women’s cross country/track & field, men’s golf, field hockey, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s swimming, women’s rowing, and men’s rowing.
