Four Bulls Named to CSC Academic All-District Team

BUFFALO, NY - Four members of the University at Buffalo men's tennis team have been named to the College Sports Communicators (formerly CoSIDA) Academic All-District Men's Tennis Team, as announced by the organization on Tuesday.

Senior Theodoros Mitsakos earned the honor for the third straight year, graduate student Clement Mainguy was named to the team for the second straight season and senior Emiliano Jorquera and Minjae Kim earned the recognition for the first time in their careers.

To be eligible for Academic All-District honors, student-athletes must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average, and they must have reached sophomore athletic eligibility with at least one full calendar year completed at his/her current institution.

Mitsakos, a communication major with a 3.57 GPA, finished his decorated career ranked in the top 10 all-time in program history with 64 singles wins and 59 career doubles victories. He was named to the All-MAC First Team after reaching double-digit singles and doubles win totals in four straight seasons and came up big once again at the MAC Tournament, putting a point on the board at first singles in the win over Ball State in the semifinals, before helping the Bulls earn a crucial doubles point in the championship match. Mitsakos and Mainguy were also named MAC Doubles Team of the Week a league-best four times.

Mainguy, who maintains a 3.95 GPA and is working on a master's degree in business analytics, has come up clutch in countless moments across his two seasons in Buffalo. He earned postseason honors for the second straight season after being named the Most Outstanding Player at the MAC Tournament Championship, winning both of his matches, including the clinching point in the semifinals, and is now a perfect 4-0 in the MAC Tournament. He also served as the clinching point in the regular season finale at Toledo that secured UB's second straight regular season title and has been a force in doubles play as well, recording 14 wins with Mitsakos.

A business administration major with a 3.43 GPA, Jorquera closed out his UB career recording back-to-back seasons with double-digit singles and doubles win totals. He notched 16 singles victories as a senior, primarily at the fifth position, while adding 10 doubles victories.

Kim, an international trade major with a 3.57 GPA, has been a mainstay in the heart of the UB lineup, recording 19 singles victories, good for second best on the team, including a 6-3 mark in league play, while also adding 12 doubles victories.

The 2026 Academic All-District Men's Tennis Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes soccer honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

Academic All-District honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America ballot. Academic All-America honorees will be announced later this month.
