The SEMO Redhawks earned Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team honors and four tennis student-athletes claimed Scholar-Athlete accolades during the 2023 season.
To be named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, individuals must have a grade point average of at least 3.5 (on a 4.0 scale) for the current academic year and be listed on the institutional eligibility form. To be named an ITA All-Academic Team, programs must have a team grade point average of 3.2 or higher (on a 4.0 scale). As a team, SEMO recorded a 3.81 GPA with five of the seven players on its roster accumulating a perfect 4.0.
The Redhawks tennis program’s academic success reflected their excellence on the court this past season. For the second-straight season, SEMO won the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament title and punched its ticket to the NCAA Tournament. The Redhawks, who also won the league's regular-season crown, swept the OVC championships for the first time in program history.
The Redhawks simply dominated throughout their spring campaign putting together an overall record of 17-3 and undefeated 5-0 mark in OVC action. The Redhawks tied a single-season program record in victories and put together a program record 16-match winning streak.
