UAH honors 128 student-athletes for academic achievements during Homecoming celebrations

The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) celebrated the academic victories of 128 student-athletes at 4.0 Night on Feb. 13 in Spragins Hall as part of Homecoming 2025. This annual recognition honors students who made a 4.0 grade point average in either semester of the previous calendar year. UAH is a part of The University of Alabama System.

“4.0 Night is another testament to the great student-athletes we have at UAH,” said UAH Director of Athletics Dr. Cade Smith. “They not only excel in their sport, but also in the classroom. We could not be more proud of their hard work. We know that this translates well into their future careers, and we look forward to seeing the impact that they will continue to have on our university and our community!”

This year’s 4.0 scholars represent each of UAH’s 15 sports and all of the university’s colleges, Smith noted. The number of student-athletes who achieved 4.0 in 2024 is higher than the previous two years: 108 in 2023 and 111 in 2022.

The 4.0 Night ceremony happened on Spragins’ Kelly Court during halftime of the UAH men’s basketball game against Christian Brothers University. The UAH women’s basketball team took on Christian Brothers earlier in the evening. Both Chargers teams gave the home crowd plenty of reasons to cheer.

The UAH women set the celebratory tone for the evening with an 88-54 win. They’re now 20-4 overall and 15-3 in the Gulf South Conference (GSC). They also clinched first-round hosting rights for the 2025 Truist GSC Women’s Basketball Championships: March 4, 5:30 p.m., Spragins Hall.

Then the UAH men battled to a 72-55 victory, improving their season to 23-1 overall with 23 straight wins and 18-0, GSC. They’re No. 4 in the nation in the National Association of Basketball Coaches NCAA Division II rankings.
