Washington University in St. Louis women's tennis junior Jamie Silverberg was named to the 2015 Capital One Academic All-America Division III Women's At-Large Third Team, as announced Tuesday by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Silverberg is just the third women's tennis player in WashU history to receive Academic All-America accolades, joining Elizabeth Kelsey (1992) and Kate Klein (2013).
"Jamie is an exceptional representative for the Washington University in St. Louis scholar-athlete community," head coach Kelly Stahlhuth said. "Her dedication, passion, and work ethic are visible on a daily basis as she challenges herself to achieve her academic goals and personal development."
A 2015 All-University Athletic Association (UAA) First-Team selection at No. 1 doubles and Second-Team honoree at No. 2 singles, Silverberg became the 22nd individual in WashU women's tennis history to eclipse 100 career wins. Her 113 career victories ranks 13th in school history. Silverberg also qualified for the NCAA Individual Championships for the second year in a row in 2015.
She finished her junior season with a 40-18 overall record, including a 19-9 mark in singles and a 21-9 doubles record. Silverberg has earned UAA Athlete of the Week honors four times in her career, including once this season.
In addition to her selection to the 2015 Capital One Academic All-America and All-District Teams, Silverberg is a two-time Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Scholar-Athlete and Academic All-UAA honoree. She holds a 3.96 GPA while majoring in economics and pre-med.
