6/25/08 WCC Announces 2008 Spring All-Academic Teams San Bruno, CA - The WCC announced the 2008 Spring All-Academic Teams today, with Saint Mary's receiving 10 honorees from five sports. The 2008 WCC All-Academic teams honor some of the league's finest examples of the consummate scholar-athlete. To be considered, a student-athlete must earn at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, while also being a significant contributor to his or her team.
Moraga, CA - Saint Mary's women's tennis has earned an early nod on their 2008-09 recruiting class, as the threesome of Anna Chkhikvishvili, Molly Aloia, and Sabina Gunnarsson were named the No. 3 class within the Mid-Major institutions.
Moraga, CA - The 2007-08 women's tennis team created new expectations for themselves and the program, as they earned an Intercollegiate Tennis Ranking throughout the entire season, and were ranked as high as No. 35 in the country. Tenth year head coach Lisa Alipaz was instrumental in the Gaels' success, earning her second straight West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honor following a 16-7 overall record and guiding four players to all-conference accolades. Unfortunately the Gaels were just one step behind No. 18 Pepperdine in the WCC Championships, as Saint Mary's took home their second straight second place finish, falling to the Waves in the championship match.
