National Champion Georgia Earns ITA Academic Honors

July 21, 2025 | Women's Tennis

ATHENS, Ga. – The national champion Georgia women's tennis team was recognized by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) for academic achievement Monday including seven student-athletes earning ITA Scholar-Athlete honors. 

Teams with at least a 3.2 grade point average (GPA) for the year earn ITA All-Academic Team distinction, and the Bulldogs finished the year with a 3.50 GPA. Also, Alexandra Vecic, Mell Reasco, Mai Nirundorn, Hayden Mulberry, Anastasiia Lopata, Guillermina Grant, and Sarah Branicki were named ITA Scholar-Athletes for their outstanding work in the classroom. Last month, 11 members of the squad were named to the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll.

Four Bulldogs earned a degree this past June including Dasha Vidmanova, who claimed the NCAA singles title in the fall. She was tabbed a CSC Academic All-American along with being named the Honda Award recipient for women's tennis and the SEC Female Athlete of the Year by the league. Vecic, Reasco and Nirundorn round out the Bulldog graduates in 2025.

In his second season at the helm, Drake Bernstein led the Bulldogs to an NCAA Championship, the ITA National Team Indoor title and the SEC tournament crown. Georgia finished with a 29-3 record and a No. 1 ITA final ranking.
