HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss women's tennis posted a 3.325 GPA as a team for the 2020-21 academic year on the way to being named an ITA All-Academic Team, while Julia Barden, Monique Burton and Sarah Medik all earned ITA Scholar-Athlete honors.
"I am very pleased with our team's academic success once again this year," head coach Stephen Schram said. "They work extremely hard in the classroom and on the tennis court. It's a great honor to be recognized by the ITA for their accomplishments."
Burton and Medik both made the President's List (4.0), while Barden was named to the Dean's List. For Medik and Burton, it marks the second time earning the recognition from the ITA for their accomplishments in the classroom.
The Golden Eagles finished the 2021 season with a record of 8-3 despite battling a handful of cancelations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
