NEWPORT BEACH -- Once again, it was a clean sweep for Cal State LA's women's tennis team when the PacWest Conference announced its annual academic awards this week.

All eight members of Cal State LA's women's tennis team earned 2023-24 Academic All-PacWest Conference honors, marking the second straight season every member of the Golden Eagles' team received academic recognition from the conference.

Alexandra Hincu, Sakura Kurokawa, Courtlyn Lam, Sarah Olmos, Lea Rolland, Summer Roybal, Rochelle Suarez and Hideka Takamura were among a record 1,900 student-athletes honored by the conference. Student-athletes who achieved at least a 3.0 grade point average, completed two academic semesters and competed in a regular-season competition in a PacWest sponsored sport were eligible to receive the academic honor.

Cal State LA is an affiliate member of the PacWest Conference in women's tennis, joining fellow California Collegiate Athletic Association member Stanislaus State as part of the 15-team conference. The CCAA stopped sponsoring women's tennis following the 2010 season.

The 2024 season was Cal State LA's ninth competing as an affiliate member of the PacWest.

Listed below are the players with their majors:

Alexandra Hincu, Sr., Kinesiology, 3.73
Sakura Kurokawa, Sr., Accounting, 3.98
Courtlyn Lam, Jr., Business Administration, 3.50
Sarah Olmos, Jr., Biology, 3.70

Cal State LA has recorded six national top-25 finishes in the past 12 seasons and have three top-20 finishes during that span, including a national ranking of 15 in 2012, which was the best for the program since being No. 15 in 1995.

Cal State LA has a storied women's tennis program that has competed in the NCAA Championships nine times. Edna Olivarez won national titles in singles and doubles, with partner Jennifer Choi, in 1990. The program's most famous alum is legendary tennis pro and women's rights activist Billie Jean King, who played for Cal State LA from 1961-64. The athletics complex on campus is named in her honor.
