The 10 student-athletes from the Pride who earned scholar-athlete accolades were: Ananyaa Bhargava, Simran Desai, Kaitlyn Ferguson, Jimena Garbino, Abigail Higgins, Sabira Mohamed, Brooklyn Samuels, April Sanchez, Deniz Soyer, and Ciyin Zhang picking up the honor.

In 2023, 1,513 Division I women's tennis student-athletes were named an ITA Scholar-Athlete, and 234 women's tennis programs were awarded the All-Academic Team distinction.
