As a team, the men's tennis program garnered ITA All-Academic team honors for the 13th-straight year under Head Coach Matt Nielsen.
 
Senior Surya Rajamani, Rahul Ravi and Kavin Shukla, juniors Josh Chu and Ethan Samora, sophomore Alan Wang and first-year Aiden Swartz were all named ITA Scholar-Athletes.
 
Rajamani and Shuka both earned recognition for the fourth-straight year, while Samora becomes a three-time ITA Scholar-Athlete honoree, and Wang received accolades for the second-consecutive season.
