SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – The Union College women's tennis team was yet again recognized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association both as a team and individually for their high achievement in the classroom this season. The team was named an ITA All-Academic Team for the sixth straight year, while a record nine Dutchwomen earned ITA Scholar-Athlete honors as well.
 
The Dutchwomen made it six years in a row as an All-Academic Team after another superlative effort in the classroom, posting a team GPA of 3.586 for 2020-21. The team comfortably exceeded the minimum requirements of a cumulative 3.20 GPA on a 4.00 scale for all varsity letter winners, boasting one of the top GPAs among Union teams once again this year.
 
Individually, Union boasted nine student-athletes named ITA Scholar-Athletes, recognizing varsity letter winners with a GPA of at least 3.50 on a 4.00 scale for the current academic year. Senior Samantha Siegel, junior Dana D'Onofrio, and sophomores Sophie Brown, Hallie Katzman and Rayna Katzman all earned the honor for the second straight season. In addition, senior Cathy Xing was recognized for the second time in her career, while senior Megan Brown and first-years Kate Hirnak and Gracie Nicol were selected for the first time.
 
The nine selections are the most in recent program history, surpassing the eight selections from 2020.
 
On the court, Union posted a 2-5 mark in dual matches and a 2-4 Liberty League record during the abbreviated spring season, playing all but one of its matches against the four teams that qualified for the conference tournament and coming up one match short of the program's first conference tournament qualification.
