DURHAM, N.C. - The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced its academic awards list, with Duke earning a spot on this year's ITA All-Academic Teams list. In addition to the team honor, rising juniors Nicolas Alvarez and Andrew DeJoy, rising sophomores Jason Lapidus and Catalin Mateas and recent graduate Daniel McCall also received recognition for individual academic accomplishments.
For a team to be considered for the ITA All-Academic Team award, a program must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.20, while an individual must be a varsity letter winner, maintain a grade point average of at least 3.50 during the current academic year and must be enrolled at the school for at least two semesters to be considered for the ITA Scholar-Athlete honor.
Duke was joined by five other ACC schools on the team list: Louisville, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Virginia and Wake Forest.
McCall earned a spot on the ITA Scholar-Athlete list for the fourth consecutive year while Alvarez was a selection for the second straight year. DeJoy, Lapidus and Mateas each earned their first career selections.
Each member of the 2016 ITA All-Academic Teams and ITA Scholar-Athletes will receive a certificate to commemorate the accomplishment.
