TEMPE, Ariz.—Six student-athletes from the Idaho men's and women's tennis teams were honored by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association with the announcement of its All-Academic Teams and Scholar-Athlete award winners.

Mark Kovacs, Esteban Santibanez and Lucas Coutinho earned scholar-athlete recognition for the men. The Idaho women earned All-Academic team honors, while Marianna Petrei, Maria Tavares and Shion Watabe picked up individual honors.

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 varsity letter winners should be factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2015 and spring 2016).

In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman through senior year).

All six student-athletes were also Big Sky All-Academic selections by the conference.
