Skillman, N.J. - Both the men's and women's tennis teams at Farmingdale State College were named as ITA All-Academic Teams for their grade point averages recorded during the 2014-15 academic year. The men's team had a cumulative GPA of 3.21 and the women's team had a cume GPA of 3.45 during this past fall and spring semester.
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 should be factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2014 and spring 2015).
The Rams also had nine individuals named to the Scholar-Athlete list, including Daniel Baruch (3.74), Tyler Danzy (3.76), Chris Hunter (3.84), Karuppiah Karuppiah (3.52), Denise Liguori (3.79), Aravind Mahalingam (3.58), Tatiana Rosamilia (3.91), Jessica Sickles (3.80) and Amanda Vecchio (3.70).
In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) Be a varsity letter winner. 2.) Have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year. 3.) Have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman through senior year).
Congratulations to both teams!
