Both the Central College’s men’s and women’s tennis teams were back on the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team award list announced Wednesday. Additionally, 21 student-athletes captured ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition.

The men’s squad compiled a 3.29 combined team grade point average (4.0 scale) and posted a 12-11 overall record. The Dutch women tallied a 3.54 GPA and had a 7-13 mark. The men finished third in the American Rivers Conference and the women were sixth. To receive the team distinction, a squad’s combined GPA must be a 3.2 or above.

Nine men and 12 women were named ITA Scholar-Athletes. To qualify for the individual honor a student-athlete must achieve a 3.5 or higher GPA for the academic year and be listed on the institutional eligibility form.

Matthew Den Adel of the men’s team and Ashlynn Brant, Jenna Hernandez and Madie Holle from the women’s program are all recipients of the honor from previous years.
