WAYNESBURG (Aug. 11)-The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) announced the 2007-2008 All-Academic and Scholar-Athlete awards on August 8. For the eight-straight year, the Waynesburg University women's tennis team was lauded for their work in the classroom.

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).

Sophomore Victoria Danielczuk (Goshen, Conn./Wamogo Regional), senior Dana Davis (Valencia, Pa./Mars), senior Laura Garcia (Johnstown, Pa./Richland), sophomore Britni Green (Newark, Ohio/Newark), junior Jessica Mally (Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio/Cuyahoga Falls), and junior Alexandra Yackel Poughkeepsie, N.Y./Our Lady of Lourdes) were named ITA Scholar-Athletes for 2007-2008.
