Women's Tennis Garners ITA Academic Honors

Women's Tennis Garners ITA Academic Honors

The 2019-20 edition of the Emory University women's tennis program was recognized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) earlier this month, earning team and individual academic honors.

The Eagles were recognized as an All-Academic Team recipient. In order to be eligible for the award, a team must have a grade point average of 3.2 or above (on a 4.00 scale), with all varsity letter winners factoring into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year.

In addition to being named an All-Academic Team, Head Coach Amy Bryant saw nine of her players earn Scholar-Athlete acclaim. To be considered for the Scholar-Athlete award, a student-athlete must attain a grade point average of at least 3.5 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year.

Representing Emory on the Scholar-Athlete list were Ysabel Gonzalez-Rico, Defne Olcay, Sasha Hartje, Stephanie Taylor, Emma Cartledge, Christina Watson, Jessica Fatemi, Lauren Yoon and Alexa Goetz.

In total, 1058 Division III Women student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete and 175 women's tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction.
