WINONA, Minn. — The Saint Mary's University men's and women's tennis teams proved they were a multi-talented group – not only excelling on the tennis courts, but in the classroom as well.
 
On Wednesday, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced its All-Academic Awards, as both Cardinal teams, and 15 individuals, collected all-academic honors.
 
The Saint Mary's women's tennis team, which boasted a combined 3.63 grade-point-average was among 125 Division III programs the recognized for GPAs above a 3.20, while the Cardinal men's team — owners of a 3.48 GPA — was one of 125 men's squads.
 
Individually, nine members of the Cardinal women's team and five from the men's team, landed individual academic honors, compiling GPAs above a 3.50.
 
Kailee Johnson (Rochester, Minn.), Sarrianna Hoffer (Wausau, Wis.), Kennedy Morgan (Green Bay, Wis.), Zoie Becker (St. James, Minn.), Maddie Dosser (South St. Paul, Minn.), Emily Henderson (Jordan, Minn.), Peyton Buerman (Shawano, Wis.), Ella Boomgaarden (St. Peter, Minn.), and Natalie Peterson (St. Cloud, Minn.) collected all-academic honors for the SMU women, with Josh Janssen (Green Bay, Wis.), Matt Besek (Winona, Minn.), Brendon Raabolle (Andover, Minn.), Peter Quinn (Lake Elmo, Minn.), Tucker Stene (Fridley, Minn.), and Caden Rodning (Mason City, Iowa) earned the award for the Cardinal men.
