MALIBU, Calif. — The Pepperdine men's tennis team and seven members of the squad earned Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic Awards, as announced by the organization on Monday.
To become an ITA Scholar-Athlete, players must have at least a 3.5 grade point average for the 2024-25 academic year. Teams must have a 3.2 grade point average or higher to earn ITA All-Academic Team status.
Pepperdine's seven individual award winners were the most in program history under Director of Tennis Adam Schaechterle. Robin Boeckli, Linus Carlsson Halldin, Maxi Homberg, Chris Papa, Aleksa Pisaric, Lasse Poertner and Hugh Winter were the seven Waves who earned ITA All-Academic awards. As a team, Pepperdine had a 3.3 GPA, earning them the ITA All-Academic Team award for the fourth consecutive year.
Finishing 25th in the final ITA national poll, the Waves went 16-11 in 2025 and advanced in the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the last five years. Six members of the lineup are expected to return in 2026.
