TEMPE, Ariz. – The University of Portland women's tennis team was named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Academic Team, while six players garnered ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition: Aleksandra Dimitrijevic, Lexie Flores, Isabella Marquart, Meagan Pearson, Sally Pethybridge and Alaia Rubio Perez.

To qualify for the team award, a program must post a GPA of 3.2 or higher for the academic year, while individual scholar athlete awards are given to those with a GPA of 3.5 or higher for the year. Portland was one of 222 Division I teams to be selected, while 1,462 individuals were recognized nationally.

As a team, Portland's active roster posted a 3.78 cumulative GPA during the 2024-25 academic year.

Dimitrijevic and Pethybridge conclude their careers having garnered ITA Scholar-Athlete recognition all four seasons. Pearson and Rubio Perez are three-time honorees, while freshmen Flores and Marquart hit the mark in their inaugural season.

Head coach Filip Zivkovic led Portland to the WCC Tournament for the third straight season and will return everyone except Pethybridge and Dimitrijevic next year. The Pilots ranked 10th in the final ITA Northwest Region Team Rankings. Get Your Tickets Now!
