TEMPE, Ariz. – Warrior Tennis was rewarded for its hard work in the classroom with 14 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athlete nods and both teams earned All-Academic Team honors for the 2025-26 school year.
 
To be named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, a student-athlete must have a grade point average of at least 3.5 for the current academic year. To be named an ITA All-Academic Team, programs must have a team grade point average of 3.2 or above.
 
"It is very nice to have all sorts of opportunities for the student-athletes to garner individual academic awards," coach Kai Fong said. "Many of the awardees also hold down part-time jobs which make it even more impressive to have better than average grades while competing in an intercollegiate sport. It is still always a 'wow' factor when the list comes out, it never gets old.
 
"This past season, we had great accolades in all aspects of the programs: academic, athletic and citizenship," Fong added. "Kudos to both teams for perpetuating the tradition of Warrior excellence."
 
LC State Women's Tennis finished the school year with a 3.60 team GPA, and on the men's side the team earned a GPA of 3.49.
 
Juniors Ana Govea, Gwyn Heim, Carisa Liebenberg and Rayana Shah led a group of six Warrior women to win the award. They were joined by teammates Luciana Marzani and Larissa Couto.
 
The Warrior men were led by juniors Rafael Bonnet de Larbogne and Nell Rollin as part of the group of eight. Teammates Kevin Lu, Giacomo Moreira, Pablo Herrera, Leonel Gatti, Gautam Balakrishnan and Chanmony Chheang also earned the honor.
