Massachusetts recognized for civic commitment during ITA Community Service Month

TEMPE, Ariz. - University of Massachusetts tennis received unique recognition from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) for its civic commitment as one of only three programs nationally to earn ITA Community Service Month grants on Wednesday, as announced by the ITA.

"Thank you to the ITA and Limoneira for placing community service at the forefront as it should be," head coach Juancarlos Nunez said. "I also want to thank our student-athletes for investing their time and hearts into our efforts to impact our community for the best. It means a lot to me and our program to be able to give back through service. Our program would not be where it is today without the support of our community."

All teams that performed 20-plus hours of community service were entered in a drawing, where the team selected received a $500 ITA grant and the University of Massachusetts team took home the prize. During the month of October, the team was involved in assisting Habitat for Humanity.

In addition to the University of Massachusetts' grant, the College of Charleston team won the Limoneira Hours Challenge while the University of Alabama Birmingham generated the most social media engagement and earned an ITA grant as a result.
