The Webster University women's tennis team garnered the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) 2015-16 All-Academic Team award, earning it a third straight year.  In addition, eight team members were named 2016 ITA Scholar Athletes as well, the largest number of individual recipients for a single year in team history.

The women's tennis team had an outstanding 3.71 team grade point average (GPA) for the 2015-16 year, easily eclipsing the team's 3.42 GPA for 2014-15.  To qualify for the ITA All-Academic Team Award, team rosters must maintain a 3.2 GPA for the academic year. 

The Webster women's ITA Scholar Athletes all earned the awards by maintaining GPAs, for the 2015-16 academic year, over the 3.5 minimum required for the honor.  In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must also be a varsity letter winner and have been enrolled at their present school for at least two  semesters. Those qualifying were:

Monica Behrle, SO, Atlanta, GA (East Paulding HS)
Kaylen Kress, SR, Bartlett, IL (Bartlett HS)
Stephanie Lass, SO, Lake Villa, IL (Lakes Community HS)
Sara Rice, FR, Mahomet, IL (Mahomet-Seymour HS)
Erin Roop, SR, Lacrosse, WI (Aquinas HS)
Jesse Steffens-Willis, SO, St. Louis, MO (Rockwood Summit HS)
Jordan Struckman, SO, O'Fallon, MO (Francis Howell HS)
Madison Watts, FR, Rogersville, MO (Logan-Rogersville HS)

Kress and Roop were ITA Scholar Athletes for a third straight year, and Lass earned her second straight award.  Webster has earned the All-Academic Team Award five of the past seven seasons.  The Gorloks were one of two the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference teams to qualify for the award in 2016, with Principia College joining them.

Congratulations to the Webster women's tennis team!
