HAMILTON, N.Y. - The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced the teams that have met its criteria for ITA All-Academic Team at the NCAA Division I level for the 1999-2000 season.

The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the NCAA eligibility form and have competed in one or more matches are averaged into the cumulative grade point average.

Colgate finished the 1999-2000 academic year with a 3.28 grade point average led by Crystal Hetem (3.92) and Lorraine Coulter (3.84).

“I am very happy that our team received this award, it shows the commitment and the effort that the women’s team displayed all year both on and off the courts,” head coach Bob Dallis said.
