The Williams and Bates women's basketball program were honored by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA). 

The Ephs, coached by Pat Manning, had the 22nd-highest team GPA in Division III last season at 3.728, while Alison Montgomery's Bates squad earned special mention with a 3.579 GPA.

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II, and III, NAIA, and two-year college women's basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2024-25 season is the 30th in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.
