All eight Blue Demons claim scholar-athlete honors
CHICAGO – The DePaul women's tennis team was recognized for its academic excellence on Monday afternoon as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced its academic awards for the 2023-24 season. The Blue Demons earned the team academic award for the 17th-straight season while all eight student-athletes earned ITA Scholar-Athlete distinction.
As a team, the Blue Demons healthily surpassed the ITA minimum of a 3.20 GPA with a 3.89 cumulative team average, which is tops among DePaul's athletics programs, to continue their near two-decades long streak of team academic honors.
Individually, Greta Carbone, Emily Casati, Eva Goncharov, Yuliya Kizelbasheva, Eleanor Nobbs, Mayya Perova, Hannah Smith and Sasha Stula all earned Scholar-Athlete accolades for maintaining a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the academic year.
In five seasons of head coach Marisa Arce's tenure, 41 of 42 eligible student-athletes have earned the Scholar-Athlete distinction which is good for 97 percent. The 2023-24 academic year marks the fourth-consecutive year that every Blue Demon student-athlete has received recognition.
In 2024, 1,573 Division I women's student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, and 255 women's tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction.
