GILBERT, Ariz. – After securing the program's first-ever ITA Cup Singles Championship on October 18, junior Caitlin Bui earned the ITA Cup James O'Hara Sargent Sportsmanship Award.
 
The award goes to a student-athlete who displays outstanding sportsmanship and exemplifies the spirit of collegiate tennis during the course of the ITA Cup.
 
The award is given in memory of Jim Sargent, former Media Manager for Rolex Watch, USA, who passed away in 2000. He was a great friend of college tennis, an ITA All-American who competed with outstanding success and sportsmanship at Lynchburg College and continued as a special partner to the ITA in his role with Rolex.
 
In addition to her singles championship, Bui and doubles partner Eleanor Archer reached the ITA Cup doubles semifinal. The pair won the ITA Cup Doubles Championship in 2024, which was the program's first-ever ITA Cup title, putting Bui is the history books as the lone player to win both an ITA Cup doubles and singles title.
