The University of New Mexico women’s tennis team was recognized today by the UNM Board of Regents for receiving the NCAA Public Recognition Award. The award is given to those teams that have an NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate in the top 10 percent of all squads in their sport.
The New Mexico women’s tennis team also had seven of its 10 athletes earn the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar-Athlete award. Ola Abou-Zekry, Emma Hayman, Lucy Scott, Maria Sotirchos, Victoria Tessmar, Mackenzie White and Sandra Zmak were the seven who qualified for the honor.
“It was a great honor to be there (at the Board of Regents meeting) and to be recognized for all of the girls’ hard work,” UNM head coach Kathy Kolankiewicz said.
