This marks the first time in program history a player has received the honor
This marks the first time Hande has received the honor, and the first time a member of the NC State women's tennis team has been named to a Capital One Academic All-America® team in program history.
For her combined performance on the court and in the classroom Hande is one of 45 student-athletes to be named to the at-large first, second or third team, as 15 were placed to each of the three teams.
Nearly one month ago, Hande was named to the Capital One Academic All-District® Women's At-Large Team, which nominated her for the national award.
In the classroom, the Cheltenham, England, native recently graduated with an economics major and minor in German, holding a cumulative 4.0 GPA.
A four-year starter for the Pack, Hande finished her career with 38 doubles wins, which ranks as the ninth-highest career total in program history. Her senior campaign was highlighted by a singles win over No. 67 Linn Timmermann of Georgia State and a doubles win with teammate Joanna Nalborska over the 41st-ranked pair of Rasheeda McAdoo and Alexis Prokopuik of Georgia Tech.
She also helped her team clinch a 4-3 win over Wake Forest in the first round of the ACC Championship tournament.
