The Lee University tennis squads wrapped up their final season in the NAIA by gaining their share of accolades from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). Both the men and women's programs placed seventh in the ITA's 2013 Top 10 All-Academic Team awards.

Five members of coach Tony Cavett's women's squad received individual honors. Freshman Maclain Yowarsky, sophomore Kelsey Lovingood, sophomore Jodie Rice, sophomore Tonya Walters and junior Annie Sandberg were rewarded for their academic accomplishments.

Lead by junior Richard Gamble, the Flames also placed freshman Daniel Hardesty and junior Andre Ishida on the academic listing.

The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All eligible student-athletes whose names appear on the NCAA/NAIA/NJCAA/CA JUCO eligibility form and have competed in one or more varsity matches must average into the GPA for the current academic year (including fall 2012 and spring 2013).

In order to earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status a player must meet the following criteria: 1.) be a varsity letter winner, 2.) have a grade point average of at least 3.50 (on a 4.00 scale) for the current academic year, and 3.) have been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters (including freshman thorough senior year).
