NEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana has produced three Intercollegiate Tennis Association Scholar-Athletes for the 2014-15 academic year: Simone-Alyse Ewell and Jordyn Goody on the women's team and Jeremiah Capdeville on the men's. The ITA announced the awards this past week.

Ewell, Goody and Capdeville are Xavier's first honorees for this award since 2008-09, and it's the most that the Gold Nuggets and Gold Rush have combined for since four in 2004-05.

ITA Scholar-Athletes must be varsity letterwinners, have a 3.50 GPA for the current academic year and been enrolled at their present school for at least two semesters.

Ewell, from Detroit and a graduate of The Roeper School, will be a senior at Xavier in 2015-16. Goody, from Lake Charles, La., and a graduate of St. Louis Catholic High School, has received her bachelor's degree from Xavier. Capdeville, from Jennings, La., and a graduate of Jennings High School, will be a sophomore.

Xavier's women ranked fourth in the 2015 NAIA postseason poll, and the men ranked sixth. The Gold Rush reached the national quarterfinals for the fourth consecutive year.
