East Carolina Garners ITA All-Academic Team Award

TEMPE, Ariz. – For the 11th time in the last 13 years, East Carolina has been named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division I All-Academic Team.

The squad posted a program-record 3.86 GPA during the 2023-24 academic year with all nine members of the squad earning at least a 3.0. The Pirates were also recognized with the American Athletic Conference Women's Tennis Academic Excellence Award earlier in the summer for tallying the best GPA of any women's tennis club in the conference.

Kim Auerswald, Ines Bachir, Anne Lou Champion, Alisha Hussain, Brooke LaFrenz, Joan Madi, Martina Muzzolon and Kexuan Zhou were tabbed ITA Scholar Athletes. Champion and Muzzolon were all honored for the third-straight year.

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 letterwinners are factored into the cumulative team GPA from the 2023-24 academic year. In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status, a player must have a grade point average of 3.50 or above for the current academic year.
