MINNEAPOLIS - The University of Minnesota tennis program has been recognized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) as a 2024 Division I Women's ITA All-Academic team, announced by the ITA on Monday.

The Maroon & Gold squad finished the 2023-24 academic year with a 3.63 team cumulative GPA. The team's 3.72 GPA in the spring of 2024 marked the ninth consecutive semester that Gopher tennis achieved a term GPA of 3.50 or higher as a program, and the fourth out of the last five semesters that Minnesota notched a term GPA of 3.70 or higher.
