LANCASTER, Pa. – The Franklin & Marshall women's tennis team had two of its athletes recognized on the 2024-25 College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) Academic All-District® Team. This honor recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the court and in the classroom. Those athletes include Rebecca Bellick and Mackenzie Sherman.

Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced at the end of the month. To be eligible for this honor a student-athlete most be at least a sophomore and have completed at least one full year at their current institution in addition to maintaining a 3.5 cumulative GPA while playing in at least half of the team's contests. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes tennis honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Rebecca Bellick recorded an impressive 12-2 record in singles this season, playing primarily in the No. 6 match.
