BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Women's Tennis was named an ITA All-Academic Team and six Lady Toppers were named ITA Scholar-Athletes, the ITA announced Monday.
The six ITA Scholar-Athlete Award recipients were Virginia Madueño, Andra Sirbu, Carolina Chiatti, Ariadna Fernandez, Isabelle Einess and Elizabeth Sobieski.
"A great honor having the team recognized for this great accomplishment once again," WKU Women's Tennis Head Coach Greg Davis said. "The culture of success on the courts and in the classroom is one that has been embraced and will be continued with this high-achieving group we have coming in."
It is the seventh straight season the Lady Toppers have earned ITA All-Academic Team status. WKU Women's Tennis posted a 3.78 GPA during the 2025-26 academic year and finished the spring with a cumulative GPA of 3.69. The Lady Toppers were also named the Conference USA Scholar Team of the Year in Women's Tennis and won the TOPSY Award as WKU's Scholar Team of the Year. Sobieski was named the CUSA Student-Athlete of the Year in Women's Tennis, and Sobieski and Fernandez were named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team.
