TEMPE, Ariz. (July 12, 2021) – The Northern Arizona men's tennis team picked up their second consecutive All-Academic Team honor – and just third in program history – while a trio of Lumberjacks were named Scholar Athletes by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) on Monday.
Eban Straker-Meads,
Facundo Tumosa and
Maciej Ziomber were among the more than 1,000 Division I student-athletes named an ITA Scholar-Athlete. To be named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, an individual must have a grade point average of at least 3.5 for the current academic year.
Both Straker-Meads and Ziomber posted perfect 4.0 GPAs during the 2020-21 academic year, while Tumosa held a 3.6 GPA. For Straker-Meads, it is his second career honor and Ziomber and Tumosa earned the distinction for the first time.
NAU, which posted a 3.21 team GPA this year, repeated as an ITA All-Academic Team recipient. A team must have a 3.2 GPA during the academic year to qualify.
