IRVINE, Calif. – UC Irvine student-athletes were successful in the classroom following the 2025 Winter Quarter.
Following the Winter academic quarter, 152 student-athletes were honored on the Dean's List. To qualify for the Dean's List, individuals need 12 or more undergraduate graded units in a quarter with a GPA of 3.500 or better.
On the men's side, men's tennis held the top spot with a 3.48 GPA while women's golf finished atop all women's programs, ending the quarter with a 3.76 mark.
"It's an absolute joy to coach a team that is equally dedicated to their academics," remarked men's tennis head coach Mike Saunders. "This was a very demanding quarter on the court, so it's impressive how these guys also thrived in the classroom."
Overall, 16 UCI teams earned over a 3.0 GPA in the quarter.
