2013 ITA Women's Scholar Athletes
SKILLMAN, N.J. – Seven members of the Allegheny tennis program along with the Allegheny men's tennis team earned Scholar Athlete and All-Academic Team recognition, respectively, by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), in late July.
Four members of the men's program, seniors Frank Mosconi, Charlie Murphy and Kevin Snyder along with junior Alexander Hurtuk earned the honor, while sophomore Andrea Brush and seniors Laura Steele and Carolyn Shetter of the women's program were also named ITA Scholar Athletes.
Cole earned his third consecutive scholar athlete honor as Hurtuk picked up his second. The remaining five Allegheny student-athletes earned their first such award. For a student-athlete to earn ITA Scholar Athlete status, a player must meet incredibly stringent criteria, including a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale).
The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of at least 3.20. The Allegheny men's team was one of only two programs from the highly competitive North Coast Athletic Conference to have its men's team listed among the honorees
