NEWPORT, R.I. - In addition to its second straight Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) championship, and fourth in the last five years, Salve Regina University baseball earned its sixth straight American Baseball Coaches Association's (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award. The ABCA's Team Academic Excellence Award honors high school and college programs coached by ABCA members that post a cumulative Grade Point Average over 3.0 on a 4.0 scale for the current academic year.

The ABCA/Rawlings All-America Teams are the nation's oldest, founded in 1949, and the ABCA's awards program also includes the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region Awards, the ABCA/Diamond Sports Regional & National Coaches of the Year and several other major awards such as the ABCA Hall of Fame and Dave Keilitz Ethics in Coaching Award.
