Seven Cardinals Earn Individual ITA Academic Honors
MUNCIE, Ind. - The 2023-24 Ball State men's tennis team was named an Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic Team after earning a 3.5 grade point average on Ball State's 4.0 scale. This marks the 12th straight year the Cardinals have earned the team honor.
In addition, seven members of the squad received individual ITA Scholar-Athlete accolades — junior Broc Fletcher (3.7), freshman Drew Hayward (3.7), senior Eli Herran (4.0), sophomore Jacks Lancaster (3.7), senior Vince Orlando (4.0), junior Sajin Smith (3.9) and junior Nathaniel Webster (3.7). Herran and Orlando have received the honor five times.
