AMHERST, Mass. -- The UMass tennis team has been named as an ITA All-Academic Team for the 11th consecutive year. Programs are honored for posting a cumulative 3.20 team GPA. Laura Danai (second time), Maude Lecluyse (third time), Magdalena Ploch, Stephanie Stahlberg were all named ITA Scholar Athletes.

"We are proud of the team's effort and accomplishment." Head Coach Judy Dixon said. "As one of our stated team goals, our academic success remains a priority."

UMass is one of four Atlantic 10 teams honored joining Dayton, St. Bonaventure and Xavier.
