AUSTIN, Texas – University of South Alabama women's tennis senior Patricia Martins was voted to the CoSIDA Google Cloud Academic All-District 4 Women's At-Large Team, it was revealed Thursday evening.

Martins is the third USA women's tennis student-athlete to earn all-district honors, but first since Viktoria Stoklasova in 2003.

This season Martins went 14-3 in singles at the bottom two spots in the lineup, and 14-5 in doubles to lead the Jaguars to their 18th Sun Belt Conference title and 12th appearance in the NCAA Tournament.

The Lisbon, Portugal native won her first 11 singles matches of the season – all but one in straight sets – and tied for sixth in the Sun Belt in overall win percentage (.824) and at No. 6 win percentage (.846). Her overall doubles win percentage (.636) is good for fourth in the league.

The Second Team all-Sun Belt honoree in 2017 ranks seventh at South Alabama in career win percentage at No. 1 doubles (.744) and eighth in No. 1 doubles wins (29).

In the classroom, Martins has a 4.0 GPA in sport management. She has been named to the USA President's List five times and is a two-time member of the Sun Belt Commissioner's List. She has also served on the school's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.

Martins will advance to the national ballot, to be announced later this month.
