ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Florida -- Midwestern State's Hannah Yip is the recipient of the NCAA ELITE 90 award for the 2025 NCAA Division II Women's Tennis Championship.

Yip, majoring in Geosciences, currently carries a 4.00 grade-point average. She was presented with the award during a presentation at the Sanlando Park Tennis Center on Monday.

The Elite 90 award honors the exceptional achievements of student-athletes. This prestigious accolade is given to those who have not only excelled at a national championship level in their sport but have also achieved the highest academic standards among their peers.

The Elite 90 is proudly awarded to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative GPA at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 90 championships.

Eligible student-athletes are sophomores or above academically who have participated in a sport for at least two years with their school. All ties are broken by the number of credits completed.

Yip becomes the second Midwestern State student-athlete to earn an NCAA ELITE 90 award. Former MSU women's tennis standout Greta Lazzarotto claimed the honor in 2019.

The Mustangs open play at the NCAA Division II Championships with a Round of 16 match against Rockhurst (Mo.) on Wednesday. First serve is set for 11 a.m. (Central Time).
