At the conclusion of the 2015-16 school year, the lacrosse team's cumulative GPA of 3.51 was the highest among all 19 programs.

Among the BIG EAST lacrosse teams, Temple was recognized in both 2014-15 and 2015-16 for having the highest GPA.

The number of Owls to earn BIG EAST Academic Team honors as jumped each year, with a record 30 achieving that status in 2015-16.
