2017 ITA ALL-ACADEMIC TEAM/SCHOLAR-ATHLETE LIST 

BEVERLY, Mass. – The Endicott women's tennis team has claimed its fourth straight Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team Award for its efforts in the classroom during the 2016-17 year. 

Additionally, the women's tennis program also saw Margot Andreasen (Portland, Maine), Alexandra Barmore (Southington, Conn.), Mackenzie Judd (Sherwood, Wisc.), Katherine Longworth (Meriden, Conn.), Alexi Losano (Saugus, Mass.), Lauren Rahr (Waterford, Conn.), Mackenzie Rhodes (Rye, N.H.), and Jamie Zompa (Marlborough, Mass.) earn ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition. Zompa highlights the group as the program's first-ever four-time recipient. 

"I'm incredibly proud of the team for earning their fourth straight ITA All-Academic Team Award," said Endicott women's tennis head coach Jeremy Howard. "Special kudos to the members of the team who earned an individual award as well." 

The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any member program that has a cumulative team grade point average (GPA) of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). For the 2016-17 academic year, the Endicott women's tennis program posted a team GPA of 3.57, which bettered their team GPA from a year before (3.53). 

Meanwhile, to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a student-athlete must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman thorough senior year).
