CSUB Athletics Recognized for Improved APR Scores

Published

on


“Achieving perfect single-year APR scores in six of our programs,” Conder continued, “is a remarkable accomplishment. Additionally, the improvement in our multiyear scores, led by perfect scores in Women’s Basketball and Beach Volleyball, highlights our sustained commitment to academic excellence.”

Ten CSUB teams increased or maintained their single-year rates from last season, led by Wrestling (+35), Men’s Soccer (+29), Men’s Swim & Dive (+18), and Men’s Track & Field (+11).
 
Posting strong single-year scores leads to increased multiyear rates, a category in which the `Runners also excelled. Two CSUB programs in Women’s Basketball and Beach Volleyball also registered multiyear scores of 1,000. The 2025 data release marks the ninth-consecutive year of posting a 1,000 score for Beach Volleyball while Women’s Basketball has accomplished the feat in five straight.

Seven `Runner teams improved or maintained their multiyear score with Men’s Soccer (+13) and Women’s Swim & Dive (+5) leading the charge

Below are other highlights of Cal State Bakersfield’s 2025 APR success:

  • Women’s Basketball earned a perfect multiyear score for the fifth year in a row and Beach Volleyball earned a perfect multiyear score for the ninth consecutive year
  • Eight teams posted a single year score of 985 or better

 

Every Division I sports team across the nation calculates its APR each academic year, like a report card. Scholarship student-athletes earn one point each semester for maintaining academic eligibility and one point for staying in school or graduating.

Nationwide, Division I student-athletes continue to achieve classroom success at record-high levels, maintaining an overall multiyear Academic Progress Rate of 984. Since the Division I membership created the Academic Performance Program over 20 years ago, nearly 22,000 former student-athletes have earned APR points for their prior teams by returning to college and earning a degree after their eligibility expired.

Information from an NCAA press release was used in this report.

COSTA MESA, CA. – The Lindenwood Men’s Volleyball team (1-1, 0-0 MIVA) bounced back in a big way after dropping their season opener last night at #3 Long Beach State with a 3-0 sweep over Vanguard University by scores of 25-18, 25-12, and 25-22. Luke Kraft led the way for the second straight match offensively, tying for a match-high 13 kills on a .545 hitting percentage. Defensively, Amir Grant led the Lions with three blocks and Lincoln Geist led LU in digs with eight. 

Owen Walsh had the first kill of the match for Lindenwood in the opening set to make the score 3-1 in favor of the Lions. The Walsh kill sparked a 5-2 run to give the Lions a 7-3 cushion early on as Brendan Louthain and Luke Kraft each had a kill during the run while Kraft also added a service ace. Later in the set, LU went on a 6-1 run to pull away from Vanguard as Caden Whiteside and Kraft each added two kills during the Lions second big run of the set. LU went on to win the opening set 25-18 and were led by Louthain and Whiteside who each recorded four kills. In the middle set, the Lions dominated from start to finish as they took the second set by a score of 25-12. The Lions had runs of 10-2 and 9-3 and were led by Luke Kraft who had six kills in the second frame.

In the third set, Vanguard opened on a 5-0 run to immediately put some pressure on Lindenwood. The Lions responded with a 4-1 run thanks to a kill from Louthain and service aces from Whiteside and Zach Solomon to cut the Vanguard lead to two at 6-4. The two teams traded the next several points with Vanguard still clinging to a lead at 11-8 midway through the third set. On the next point, Solomon recorded a block to put the score at 11-9 in favor of Vanguard. The block by Solomon sparked yet another Lions run that eventually gave LU their first lead of the set by a score of 13-12. Vanguard retook the lead at 18-15 later on in the set, but Brendan Louthain recorded back-to-back service aces that tied the score at 18-18. The Lions closed out the set and picked up their first victory of the 2026 season after Solomon recorded a service ace that gave the Lions a 21-20 lead and Luke Kraft closed it out with three straight kills to finish with 13 kills in the match. 

As a team, Lindenwood had nine service aces and hit .429 compared to Vanguard’s .169 and two blocks. Solomon once again led the Lions in assists with 32 while Geist picked up two assists and Whiteside added one.
