HARTSVILLE, S.C. - The Coker University athletics department posted a 3.04 grade point average for the 2020-21 academic year, announced today (Wednesday, June 2) by the department.

15 Cobra teams posted a team GPA of 3.0 or better for the year, while 130 Coker student-athletes achieved a 4.00 GPA for the year.
