Last year’s Ball State University women’s tennis team was named to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s All-Academic Team for the seventh consecutive year.
Ball State has now been awarded the honor eight of the last 10 years.
There were 86 out of over 300 schools to earn the award. Two other Mid-American Conference schools, Buffalo and Western Michigan, joined Ball State with the honor.
The ITA-All-Academic Team award is given to any program who’s team grade-point average is 3.20 or above. The Cardinals held a 3.41 GPA average last season.
Three members of the team garnered individual awards. Sophomores Haly Calderwood and Jennifer Pollack and junior Jessica Thompson were each given the ITA Scholar Athlete award.
Pollack holds a 4.0 GPA as a journalism major, Calderwood owns a 3.88 mark as a dietetics major and Thompson has a 3.75 and psychology major, respectively.
Ball State was among the top programs in the NCAA when the association released it’s first Academic Progress Report last March.
Ball State opens its 2005 season with a trip to Kalamazoo, Mich., to face Western Michigan Sept. 16 through 18.��
