Bradley Tennis senior Malini Wijesinghe (Apple Valley, MN/Apple Valley H.S.) was honored for her work on and off the court on Friday, earning selection to the Google Cloud Academic All-America Women's At-Large Third Team.

One of just seven women's tennis players nationally to earn Academic All-America accolades, Wijesinghe is also the first member of the Bradley program to receive the prestigious distinction.

On the court, Wijesinghe became the second-winningest player in Bradley Women's Tennis history, completing her career with 132 combined singles and doubles victories, while her 75 career singles wins also were the second-best total in program history.
