ITA 2018 All-Academic Teams & Scholar Athletes – Division III Women
TEMPE, Ariz. – Juniors Delaney Dunlap and Meghan French of the Suffolk women's tennis team earned ITA Scholar-Athlete accolades for their impressive performances over 2017-18, the organization announced Tuesday morning.
To achieve the feat, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale and varsity letter status. French was recognized for the second straight season, while Dunlap brought home the honor for the first time in her career.
The pair joined an elite group of Suffolk student-athletes to be recognized for their successful studies and two of 12 students from GNAC schools on the national list comprised of over 4,328 student-athletes across five divisions. Johnson & Wales saw seven representatives, while Regis had three.
Dunlap, who joined the Rams ranks for her first season in 2017 as a junior, made the most of her collegiate debut with a spot on the All-GNAC singles first-team after leading Suffolk as its ace. She served herself to an 8-5 regular season record to lead the Rams to their 11 straight conference tournament appearance.
French, meanwhile, played at the lower half of the ladder for Suffolk in her third season in blue-and-gold. She picked up a pair of single wins over the course of the season and was successful in doubles play with senior Jacquelyn Nakamaura (2-1).
