Land Seven Raiders on Academic Team
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The Middle Tennessee women's tennis team was named an ITA All-Academic Team while seven Blue Raiders were named Scholar-Athletes, the ITA announced Thursday.
Lee Barnard, Zani Barnard, Lidia Burrows, Marta Peris Herrero, Costanza Magazzini, Kim Kermet and Marialuisa Zirilli earned ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition, which is given to student-athletes who posted a GPA of 3.50 or better while earning a varsity letter.
The ITA All-Academic Team award is awarded to any program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All varsity letter winners are factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year (fall 2018 and spring 2019). This is the fifth time the Blue Raiders have been awarded the ITA All-Academic Team award, last in 2017.
On the court this past spring, Middle Tennessee posted 11 wins but fell in the C-USA quarterfinals to No. 2 seed Rice, 4-0. The Blue Raiders return four and bring in Coach Bailey-Duvall first freshman class.
