Four Titans Receive ITA Scholar-Athlete Status

Four members of the UW-Oshkosh women's tennis team were recognized for their performance in the classroom by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).

Named an ITA Scholar-Athlete for the 2018-19 academic year were UW-Oshkosh's Taylor Johnson, Samantha Koppa, Alyssa Leffler and Hannah Peters.

Koppa and Peters also received ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition following the 2016-17 academic year. Johnson and Leffler were first-time award winners.

In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete mention a player must be a varsity letter winner, register a grade-point average (GPA) of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) during the current academic year, and have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters.

Johnson is a freshman nursing major who registered a 3.61 GPA this past academic year. She ended the 2018-19 season with records of 1-2 in singles play and 1-5 in doubles action. The Kimberly High School graduate was selected to the 2018-19 WIAC Scholastic Honor Roll.

Koppa compiled a 3.89 GPA as a junior elementary education major. Last fall she finished fourth in No. 3 singles and teamed with Peters to place fourth in No. 2 doubles at the WIAC Championship. The Cedarburg High School graduate concluded the 2018-19 season with records of 7-11 in singles play and 6-15 in doubles action. Koppa is a three-time member of the WIAC Scholastic Honor Roll.

Leffler, a junior, tallied a 3.80 GPA as a major in both economics and accounting. She finished third in No. 1 singles at the WIAC Championship while ending the 2018-19 season with records of 9-12 in singles play and 9-13 in doubles competition. The three-time WIAC Scholastic Honor Roll member is a graduate of Union Grove High School.

Peters is a senior nursing major who assembled a 3.95 GPA. She concluded the 2018-19 season with records of 4-12 in singles play and 4-15 in doubles action. The Hartford Union High School graduate is a three-time WIAC Scholastic Honor Roll selection.

UW-Oshkosh's four award winners were among 807 tennis players recognized from NCAA Division III schools. The list of WIAC honorees (27) included nine from UW-Whitewater and seven from UW-Eau Claire.
