Sparkill, N.Y. - On Tuesday, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced the 2023 Division II Women’s Tennis ITA Scholar-Athletes and All-Academic Teams. Eleven members of the St. Thomas Aquinas College Women's Tennis team were recognized for their achievements in the classroom. In addition, the team was recognized as a whole for its collective successes during the 2022-2023 Academic Year.

Academia is an integral aspect of the college tennis experience and adds to the unique student-athlete experience found on college campuses across the nation.

To be named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, one must meet the following requirements:

• Have a grade point average of at least 3.5 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year
• Be listed on the institutional eligibility form

To be named an ITA All-Academic Team, programs must meet the following requirements:

• Have a team grade point average of 3.2 or above (on a 4.00 scale),
• All student-athletes included should be listed on the institutional eligibility form, and
• All varsity letter winners should be factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year

Within the sport of tennis, student-athletes continue to exceed expectations in the classroom and on the court. In 2023, 623 Division II Women’s student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, and 97 women’s tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction.
