Additionally, the team must compete at the NCAA Division II regional championships and have a team cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

The WSU women's squad had a 3.18 team grade-point average, while the men's team had a 3.17.

Sixty-six (66) men's teams were honored along with 99 women's squads with All-Academic Team accolades.

At the 2007 NCAA Championship, the WSU women's squad was 14th, while the men placed 19th.
