TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- The
Rose-Hulman Institute of
Technology men’s and women’s
tennis teams have
each earned all-academic
status from the
Intercollegiate Tennis Association, in results released today.
Rose-Hulman stands as one of only 27 NCAA
Division III institutions to have both its men's and women's programs earn
all-academic honors from the ITA. In the Heartland Collegiate Athletic
Conference, only Rose-Hulman and Manchester College earned the honor.
In addition, five individuals on Rose-Hulman's
tennis teams earned ITA Scholar Athlete recognition. From the women's
side, sophomore Sam Danesis (Akron, Ohio), senior Mandy Gehring
(Lyons), senior Mandy Grantz (Rapid City, S.D.) and junior Kristin
