2017 All-Academic Teams & Scholar Athletes 

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) named the UNC Asheville women's tennis team as an All-Academic Team on Tuesday while five Bulldogs were tabbed Scholar-Athletes for the 2016-17 season.
 
The UNC Asheville women's tennis team achieved a 3.509 team grade-point average (GPA) for the 2016-17 year, which qualified them for the ITA All-Academic Team award. 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). All varsity letter winners were factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year.
 
Madeline Finley, Hunter Hall, Christin Louw, Caroline Sherrer and Emily Sidor were the five Bulldogs that obtained ITA Scholar-Athlete status as they each achieved a GPA of at least 3.50 for the academic year.
 
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a GPA of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman through senior year).
 
The Bulldogs finished last season with an 11-10 record including a 4-4 mark in Big South matches. UNC Asheville advanced to the semifinals of the Big South Conference Tournament before it was eliminated by the 2017 conference champions – Winthrop.
