The Rebels were also honored with the ITA Team All-Academic Award
TEMPE, Ariz. -- In addition to earning Team All-Academic Recognition, Ole Miss Women's Tennis has dubbed a program-record seven Rebels as Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar Athletes.
To be named an ITA Scholar Athlete, one must have a GPA of at least 3.5 for the most recent academic year, and be institutionally eligible. To be named an All-Academic Team, the squad must have a collective grade point average of 3.2 or better (on a 4.0 scale) and factor in all varsity letterwinners from the academic year.
Senior Tereza Janatova has claimed the award four straight times, while classmates Alexa Bortles and Anna Vrbenska repeat their honors from a year ago. Junior Sabina Machalova, sophomores Grace Anne Jones and Tiphanie Fiquet, and freshman Kelsey Mize all earned the award for the first time in their careers this past season.
As a squad, the Rebels turned in a perfect 4.0 GPA this past spring, the highest recorded GPA in department history and carry a collective grade point average of 3.81 and was named an All-Academic Team for the 24th consecutive season, beginning in 1997.
The seven Scholar Athletes replaces the old team record of six, set multiple times but most recently in 2017.
