The Youngstown State women's tennis program was named an All-Academic team while eight Penguin student-athletes were tabbed Scholar-Athletes by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The Penguins who were named Scholar-Athletes include Lili Minich, Cecilia Rosas, Elisa Rigazio, Jessica Stanmore, Julia Marko, Line Greyling, Eliska Masarikova and Maria Oliveira.
In 2023, 1,513 Division I Women's student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete and 234 women's tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction.
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 were factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2022 and spring 2023).
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letterwinner, 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 two semesters (including freshman through senior year).
