In addition, both squads earned All-Academic Team recognition as well.
The entire women's roster was honored by the ITA for its academic achievement, with seniors Ireland Amato, Sophia Amato, Emily Elliott, Anna Kirk, and Stow Weiss; juniors Fabiana Tort-Umpierre and Kirsten Wijnsema; sophomores Charlotte Kordonowy and Ana Ocasio; and freshman Olivia Slate earning Scholar-Athlete accolades.
On the men's side, graduate students Nassim Fenjiro, Oscar Serra, and Alejandro Vedri were joined on the list by sophomore Eli Gan-Dy and freshmen John Butler and Inigo Diaz.
In order to be recognized as an ITA Scholar-Athlete, a student-athlete must be a varsity letterwinner and achieve at least a 3.5 grade point average over the course of the academic year. To qualify for All-Academic Team status, a squad must have a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better for the year.
