TEMPE, Ariz. -- The Arizona State women's tennis team earned All-Academic Team honors for the eighth-straight season, while juniors Kassidy Jump and Alexandra Osborne were named ITA Scholar Athletes, the ITA announced on Thursday. Teams under head coach Sheila McInerney have earned ITA All-Academic Team honors since 2008.

The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All varsity letter winners should be factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2015 and spring 2016).

In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least 2 semesters (including freshman through senior year).

Jump maintained a 3.57 GPA during the academic year with a major in exploratory studies. She finished her junior season with a 23-14 record on court two, while adding a 29-9 record in doubles with freshman partner Sammi Hampton. 

Along with her teammate Ebony Panoho, Osborne helped earn the program's first Pac-12 Doubles Championship in 2016. With their performance in the NCAA Doubles Championships, Osborne earned All-American honors after making the quarterfinals. The Sydney, Australia native maintained a 3.54 GPA and will be the co-president of SAAC (Student-Athlete Advisory Committee) in 2016-17. 

As a team, the Sun Devils had a cumulative grade point average of 3.37, with none of them under a 3.00.
