TEMPE, Ariz. – Six Southern Conference men’s tennis teams were named Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic Teams and 38 SoCon student-athletes from six schools were named ITA Scholar-Athletes when the organization announced its annual academic awards on Monday.
 
ETSU, Furman, Mercer, UNCG, Chattanooga and Wofford earned the team distinction. UNCG paced the SoCon with nine individuals earning Scholar-Athlete distinction, followed by Furman and Chattanooga with seven each.
 
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 varsity letter winners should be factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year.
 
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 2.) be listed on the institutional eligibility form.
 
In 2023, 959 Division I men’s student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, and 162 men’s tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction.
