SEARCY, Ark. \u2013 The Harding women’s tennis program excelled both on the court and in the classroom during the 2025-26 season, earning the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team distinction, the organization announced Tuesday. In addition, six Lady Bisons were named ITA Scholar-Athletes.<\/p>\n
To capture the All-Academic Team award, programs must maintain a cumulative team grade-point average of 3.20 or higher on a 4.00 scale. The Lady Bisons easily surpassed that benchmark, combining for a stellar 3.59 team GPA for the current academic year. Harding was one of just 95 Division II women’s tennis programs nationwide to earn the honor.<\/p>\n
Individually, student-athletes must achieve a GPA of 3.50 or higher for the current academic year to be recognized as an ITA Scholar-Athlete. Six Lady Bisons met the requirement, led by freshmen Brooke Coffman<\/a> and Paula Rega<\/a>, who both recorded perfect 4.00 GPAs.<\/p>\n They were joined by senior Natalia Alvarez<\/a> (3.65), GAC Player of the Year Karli Roux<\/a> (3.68), Mia Hosking<\/a> (3.69), and Sofia Sarmiento Ruiz<\/a> (3.72). A total of 649 Division II women’s student-athletes received the individual academic honor this year.<\/p>\n 2026 Harding ITA Academic Honorees<\/p>\n ITA All-Academic Team<\/p>\n ITA Scholar-Athletes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
