AUGUSTA, Ga. | The Peach Belt Conference has announced that Georgia College & State University has won the 2024 Volleyball Team Sportsmanship Award.

The program presents an award following each championship season to the team in that sport that best exemplifies the spirit of sportsmanship and generally conducts themselves with a high degree of integrity, character and class. The team award is selected by other teams who compete in that sport. Points are awarded based on how each team finished in the voting and in June, the institution with the highest totals will receive the PBC Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award.

GCSU, which is the reigning Institution of the Year Sportsmanship Award winner, has won the volleyball award in back-to-back seasons and the fifth time in program history. The award is the 30th overall - second most among all PBC institutions -  for the Bobcats athletics program.

The PBC began the Team Sportsmanship Award program in the 2008-09 season.
