Nominees for CSC Academic All-America must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at their current institution.

Claudia Ng became the first Maroon tennis player to ever receive First Team Academic All-America distinction. She posted a 23-3 singles record and a 28-8 doubles record in her senior campaign, playing primarily at No. 5/6 singles and No. 2 doubles. Ng was an ITA All-American in doubles alongside partner Perene Wang. The duo reached the ITA Cup doubles final and earned Second Team All-University Athletic Association (UAA) status in doubles. She concluded her career with a 52-8 singles mark and a 70-19 doubles ledger.

Shianna Guo was a Second Team selection after a decorated sophomore campaign. While playing at the top of the lineup (No. 2 singles and No. 1 doubles), Guo accumulated a 22-5 singles record and a 25-9 doubles mark. She was an ITA All-American and an NCAA national qualifier in both singles and doubles. As ITA Central Region doubles champions, Guo and Sylwia Mikos teamed up to reach the ITA Cup doubles semifinals in the fall. Guo claimed First Team All-UAA in both singles and doubles.

Perene Wang secured Third Team status as the senior compiled a 29-7 doubles mark on the season. Wang and Ng were ITA Doubles All-Americans for the second time in their careers as they reached the finals of the ITA Cup. She picked up All-UAA accolades in doubles for the second time as well. Wang closed out her collegiate career with a 58-12 record in doubles and a 12-3 record in singles.
