TEMPE, Ariz. – For the second-straight season, four Fort Hays State women’s tennis athletes captured Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athlete honors for the 2017-18 season. Ellea Ediger, Lauren Lindell, Natalie Lubbers and Macy Moyers all earned the nod after meeting the necessary criteria to capture the recognition.
Lindell, Lubbers and Moyers all garner second-consecutive honors, while Ediger captures her first-career ITA Scholar-Athlete award. The four were a part of a Tiger squad which accumulated a 3.41 GPA for the 2017-18 season. FHSU was one of five MIAA programs to capture a mention on the list. This nod was based on the Tigers amassing a GPA of 3.2 or greater for the season.
ITA Scholar-Athlete status is earned if an athlete meets the following criteria: 1) be a varsity letter winner, 2) have a grade point average of 3.50 on a 4.0 scale for the current academic year, and 3) have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters (including freshman through senior year).
