Thirteen intercollegiate teams at the University of Maryland posted multiyear Academic Progress Rates (APR) at or above 970 based on data released Tuesday by the NCAA.
Those programs in the report were led by the women’s golf team, which earned a perfect multiyear score of 1,000 and was recognized by the NCAA as among the top 10 percent of programs nationally.
In addition to women’s golf, teams scoring above 970 on the multiyear (4-year) rate were: field hockey (997), volleyball (990), men’s lacrosse (989), women’s soccer (985), women’s lacrosse (981), gymnastics (978), women’s outdoor track (975), women’s indoor track (974), women’s cross country (973), men’s golf (973), men’s outdoor track (972) and men’s soccer (972).
All sport programs reported in the 2011-12 data set earned multiyear scores of 930 or higher. As a result, no penalties were assessed by the NCAA.
Football continued to make strides since 2009-10 when the multiyear score was 922. Since then, football has reported multiyear scores of 931 and 937 in the latest data. Under Randy Edsall, the football team has had an increase of 15 APR points in two years. Men’s and women’s basketball had multiyear scores of 948 and 950, respectively.
