Excelling on and off the field, the Worcester Prep boys’ and girls’ soccer teams both received the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award for exemplary performance in the classroom during the academic year.  The boys’ team was one of only 138 boys’ teams selected, and the girls’ team was one of only 251 teams selected throughout the United States to receive the award. To qualify, the team must have a minimum GPA of 3.25 for the entire academic year.

The team GPA is determined by adding every player's GPA, then dividing by the number of players. This marks the fifth consecutive year for the WPS boys’ team and fourth consecutive year for the girls’ team to win the award. This accolade caps off a winning season, where both teams captured their ESIAC conference and championship titles.
