SAN BRUNO, Calif. – The West Coast Conference is pleased to announce the 2020 West Coast Conference Women’s Tennis All-Academic Team. This year’s group features seven newcomers to the 12-member first team.

Of the 42 student-athletes nominated, 24 posted a GPA of 3.50 or better, while 14 had a 3.75 GPA or higher.
 
Two seniors made their third consecutive all-academic squad: LMU’s Siohban Anderson and Pepperdine’s Ashley Lahey.
