AUGUSTA, Ga. (GCSU RELEASE) – Two Georgia College women’s basketball players have been selected to the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Women’s Basketball All-Academic Team, while a third player was an Honorable Mention selection.

Keys, a mass communication major; and Upchurch, a political science major; both compiled a 4.0 grade-point average (GPA) and were two of only three named to the team to accomplish that feat. Other than Georgia College, just two other schools placed two members to the team.
