WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – For the first time since 2018, the Lycoming College women's tennis team earned the ITA All-Academic Team award while two student-athletes, freshman twins Haley and Hannah Seebold (New Columbia, Pa./Milton Area) earned ITA Scholar-Athlete status, the organization announced on Wednesday, July 14.
 
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 eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the team's roster and have competed in one or more varsity matches were included in the team GPA. In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must be a varsity letter winner, have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters.
 
In 2021, 605 Division III Women student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete and 144 women's tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction. Arcadia, DeSales, Misericordia and Stevens joined Lycoming in the group of teams from the MAC Freedom to earn the All-Academic Team award.
 
The Seebold twins mark the 13^th straight year that a member of the women's tennis team has earned the ITA Scholar-Athlete award.
 
The Warriors open the 2021-22 season by hosting Penn College on Thursday, Sept. 9, at 3 p.m. at Brandon Park.
