The Emory University women’s tennis team was named an
All-Academic Team by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA),
based on the team’s grade point average during the 2010-11
academic year. In addition, junior Zahra
Dawson and freshmen Taylor Brandt and
Brenna Kelly were named ITA Scholar Athletes.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has
a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00
scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the
NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA/CA JUCO eligibility form and have competed in one
or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current
academic year (including fall 2010 and spring 2011).
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the
following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a
grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the
current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present
school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman thorough senior
year).
Emory finished third as a team at the 2011 NCAA Division III
Championships, following a 23-5 record during the regular
season.
