To earn this honor, you must have a GPA of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and be eligible under the NCAA Division II restrictions. The award is given to those who excel both on the courts and in the classroom, which Coker Tennis Head Coach Tom Simpson prides his programs on.
Both teams were also named ITA All-Academic teams for the 2025 season. This honor is given to teams that have a 3.2 total GPA between all rostered athletes. It was a year full of success for the Cobras, and this adds yet another chapter to that book.
