AUSTIN, Texas - Just a few weeks after garnering College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District® recognition, Anouar Braham of Montreat men's tennis kept the accolades coming as the Sousse, Tunisia native snatched a spot on the CSC Academic All-America® Second Team, that according to a release from the national organization early Wednesday afternoon.
 
During the 2023 season, Braham proved to be a reliable option on the No. 2 court. Braham notched an impressive 8-3 record in singles action, and he also teamed up with fellow Cavalier Luigi Moretti for a 7-4 record in the top doubles spot throughout the year.
 
Sports information directors and athletic communicators from across the NAIA voted amongst the pool of Academic All-District® winners to select the 14 CSC Academic All-America® honorees, of which Braham was one. The upperclassman's Academic All-America® nod is the sixth such award in Montreat history.
