BRUNSWICK — The Bowdoin College women’s tennis team has been honored by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association for its work in the classroom during the 2012-13 season.
The Polar Bears garnered the ITA’s All-Academic Team award, surpassing the 3.20 cumulative team grade-point average for the past academic year. It is the eighth consecutive year that Bowdoin has been named an All-Academic Team by the ITA.
Three individuals were also honored as ITA Scholar/Athletes for the 2012-13 campaign. Kellen Alberstone, Susanna Howard and Emma Chow received recognition from the Association.
In order to receive ITA Scholar-Athlete status, a player must be a varsity letterwinner, reach a 3.5 GPA for the academic year and have been enrolled for at least two semesters.
In addition to their work off the court, the Polar Bears posted a 15-5 record last year and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Division III Tournament.
