LEXINGTON, KY – The Transylvania Men's Tennis team was named an All-Academic team, while seven Pioneers were named scholar athletes as the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) released their All-Academic honors on Wednesday.
 
Ravi Tedeschi, Alejandro Perez Canedo, Jacob Cooper, Jacob Jiranek, Tobias Mandeville, Luke Earlywine and Jordan Cordrey were all recognized as ITA Scholar Athletes.

Transylvania was recognized as an ITA All-Academic Team, meeting the criteria of having a team grade point average of at least a 3.2 or above on a 4.00 scale and all varsity letter winners are factored into the cumulative GPA for the current academic year.
 
"This team is an amazing example of the term student-athlete," said Head Coach Kevin Calhoun. "They are passionate and successful in every area of their lives. Their successes on the tennis court and the classroom come from the same place: Transy's desire to develop the whole human."
