SKILLMAN, N.J. – Carson-Newman women's tennis team and three tennis players were honored by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association for their work in the classroom.
Carson-Newman's women's tennis program has been named an ITA All-Academic team while Haleigh Chastain, Jennifer Ott and Patricia Guerreiro have been lauded as Scholar-Athletes.
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).
