Men’s Tennis Earns Multiple Academic Awards
TAMPA, July 28, 2020 – The University of South Florida men's tennis program secured many recognitions from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) for academic performance during the 2019-20 year. Four student-athletes were honored as ITA Scholar-Athletes, while the program as a whole was named one of the ITA's All-Academic Teams.
Sergio Gomez Montesa (Valencia, Spain), Chase Ferguson (Melbourne, Australia), Pierre Luquet (Draguignan, France), and Tobias Sonne (Buenos Aires, Argentina) were all named Scholar-Athletes by the ITA.
"Getting four of our student-athletes (named Scholar-Athletes) and ITA All-Academic Team honors is a great accomplishment," head coach Ashley Fisher said. "We are building a culture where everything counts and this is more evidence that we are continuing to get things right. 'How you do anything is how you do everything,' is something we live by and our guys are doing a great job of backing that up."
To be named an ITA Scholar Athlete, a student-athlete must have a GPA of above a 3.50. For a team to be recognized as an All-Academic Team, it must have an overall GPA above a 3.20.
