GILBERT, Ariz. - San José State women's tennis standouts Soledad Fayos Capilla, Duru Durgun, Olaya Bances Iglesias, Cheuk Ying Shek, and Carla Urchoeguia have been recognized as Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athletes for the 2024-25 season, the organization announced this week.
This marks the fourth consecutive year that Bances Iglesias has received the honor, while Ying Shek is a repeat recipient for the second time in her career.
To qualify as an ITA Scholar-Athlete, a student-athlete must maintain a GPA of at least 3.5 for the academic year and be eligible to compete.
In addition to individual accolades, the Spartans were once again named an ITA All-Academic Team—an award they’ve consistently earned under head coach Chad Skorupka since he took the helm in 2015. The award recognizes teams with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher.
“Academic excellence is a cornerstone of our program and helps open so many doors at SJSU for life after tennis,” said Skorupka. “Year after year, they continue to raise the standard for what it means to be a Spartan.”
