State All-American Borges Named To 2018 ITA All-Star Team
June 18, 2018 | Men's Tennis
STARKVILLE, Miss. – Less than a week after being named an Academic All-American for his work in the classroom, Mississippi State men's tennis junior Nuno Borges once again was recognized for his on-court performance on Monday.
The two-time ITA Singles and 2018 Doubles All-American added another honor to his already illustrious junior campaign, being named to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Collegiate All-Star Team.
The ITA Collegiate All-Star Team honors the top student-athletes of the 2017-18 season from all five divisions of college tennis. The team features the nation's top-ranked men's and women's players from the year-end Oracle/ITA Collegiate Tennis Rankings, in addition to winners of the 2017 Oracle ITA National Fall Championships and 2018 NCAA Division I and III Championships.
By earning the laurels, Borges becomes the fifth player in program history to earn the honors—the first since Marco Baron in 2001. Borges qualified for the team by capturing the 2017 Oracle ITA National Fall Championships' singles title in the fall.
Borges became just the third player in SEC history to earn multiple SEC Player of the Year honors as well as the first to ever be named both Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year. He led the Bulldogs to their first NCAA quarterfinal showing in 20 years and the program's first SEC Tournament crown since 1996 while manning the top spot in both singles and doubles. He ended the 2017-18 season ranked No. 1 nationally in doubles and No. 4 in singles.
