STARKVILLE – While her tremendous on-court college tennis career may have ended, Mississippi State's Anastasia Rentouli continued to rack up off-court honors on Thursday, being named Google Cloud CoSIDA Academic All-District.
The senior earned the honor for the second year in a row after notching a sparkling 3.97 cumulative GPA during her four seasons that garnered her SEC Women's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors this season as well. She will be on the ballot for CoSIDA Academic All-America consideration next month.
The Athens, Greece, product is a three-time SEC Community Service Team selection, while also being a three-time ITA Scholar Athlete and SEC Academic Honor Roll honoree.
For the past three years, Rentouli has been a member of M-Club, Mississippi State's student-athlete community service-based organization - serving as its president this past year - leading meetings, activities, and projects. One of her responsibilities included running the student-athlete social media accounts (Instagram and Twitter), where she used the platforms to promote upcoming contests of all 16 varsity teams and publicizing the student-athletes' stellar achievements.
Rentouli has also served as MSU's Student-Athlete Advisory Council's (SAAC) Campus Involvement Chair. In that role, she bridged Bulldog student-athletes with on-campus events and promotes opportunities for them to excel.
In 2018, Rentouli was honored with the ITA's Southern Region Arthur Ashe Leadership & Sportsmanship Award in addition to the ITA's Southern Region Cissy Leary Sportsmanship Award. Earlier this month, she was named one of just two national recipients of the 2019 Wilson/ITA Promoter of the Year award. In conjunction with that, she will serve an internship at Wilson Sports' global headquarters this summer in Chicago.
On the court, Rentouli has been equally impressive. While playing a major role in producing one of the most successful stretches of MSU women's tennis history, she was named All-SEC Second Team in both 2018 and 2019. The senior stands fourth all-time at State in overall career victories (150), second in singles wins (87) and tied for third in doubles wins (63). More impressively, she finished in the top 5 all-time at State for winning percentage in all three of those categories, including No. 1 all-time in singles (87-32, 73.1%).
