TEMPE, Ariz. – For the 14th time in program history, Baylor men’s tennis has been named an ITA All-Academic Team, as announced by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association on Monday. The organization also named Ryan Dickerson, Christopher Frantzen, Constantin Frantzen, Alex Garcia and Sven Lah as ITA Scholar-Athletes.

This is the 12th time in the last 13 seasons that the Bears have earned the team honor, qualifying with a cumulative grade point average of 3.27. To be eligible for the award, teams must possess a combined GPA of at least 3.20.

Individually, Baylor picked up at least five honorees for the sixth time in program history and first since 2017. Dickerson collected the accolade for the fourth time in his career, first as a Bear, while Lah received his third honor, becoming the fifth BU player all-time to be named an ITA Scholar-Athlete at least three times. Garcia and the Frantzen brothers each earned the distinction for the first time in their careers.

To earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status, a player must be a varsity letterwinner, have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.0 scale) for the current academic year, and have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters.
