Six from KU Men's Tennis tabbed ITA Scholar-Athletes

Kutztown University men's tennis was announced as an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team for the second year in a row and six players collected ITA Scholar-Athlete honors.

The Golden Bears were among 64 NCAA Division II men's teams to surpass the ITA's required 3.2 team grade point average (GPA) during the 2022-23 academic year. Kutztown amassed a 3.487 team GPA this past year, second-highest in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). Only three conference teams earned the academic team honor, with Mercyhurst and West Chester joining the Bears.

To receive ITA Scholar-Athlete status, student-athletes needed to post a 3.5 GPA during the 2022-23 academic year. The Maroon and Gold were represented on that list by Sebastian Arizpe (Puebla, Mexico/Colegio Humboldt de Puebla), Gonzalo Barcelo (San Pedro, Argentina/Nuestra Senora del Socorro), Justin Gincauskas (Mississauga, Ontario/Cawthra Park Secondary) and Ethan Moyer (Wernersville, Pa./Conrad Weiser) for the second time, while freshmen Lucas Cherniak (Buenos Aires, Argentina/Escuela Superior de Comercio Carlos Pellegrini) and Emmitt Robinson (Ingersoll, Ontario/Ingersoll District Collegiate Institute) received the honor following their first collegiate seasons.

A total of 468 Division II men's student-athletes were honored as ITA Scholar-Athletes overall.
