UNI also had four individuals earn ITA Scholar-Athlete status, including Carolina Hannes (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Sampada Kanade (Mumbai, India), Ashton Schwerin (Madison, Wis.) and Samantha Schnobel (Mississauga, Ontario).
For Schnobel it marked the fourth consecutive season she has earned the award. Hannes became a three-time award recipient as she was an ITA Scholar-Athlete in 2005 and 2006.
