We are incredibly blessed to have each contribution, as it plays a critical role in the success of all PLNU student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, and throughout their lives. Our student-athletes have done their part by claiming the 2016 NCAA Presidents’ Award for Academic Excellence with the highest academic success rate in the country. They won the PacWest Conference Community Engagement Award for their involvement in the community, had an incredible 37 AllConference performers on the field, and 145 All-Academic performers in the classroom. Now it’s our turn to step up to help them! Our primary focus is always to ensure our current student-athletes have the best college experience possible.
