Chikhaoui, Niculescu make history for XULA men

Xavier University of Louisiana men's tennisNEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana men's tennis athletes Samir Chikhaoui and Gabriel Niculescu made history Tuesday when they were named to the College Sports Information Directors of America Google Cloud Academic All-America®NAIA at-large first team for 2018-19.
     
Chikhaoui, a junior from Lille, France, and Niculescu, a senior from Bucharest, Romania, are the first XULA men to be named first-team Academic All-America®.
     
The Google Cloud Academic All-America® award recognizes student-athletes for outstanding achievements in the classroom as well as in competition. Nominees must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale. They also must have completed at least one full calendar year at their current institution and reached sophomore athletic eligibility.
     
Chikhaoui and Niculescu helped XULA finish second at the NAIA National Championship tournament in May. Niculescu graduated summa cum laude.
     
Also notable:
     •  Chikhaoui and Niculescu are the first XULA men to make Academic All-America®since Karan Salwan (men's tennis) in 2016-17. Salwan was XULA's first tennis player to be honored.
     •  It's the second time that XULA has two first-team Academic All-Americans® on the same team. Catherine Fakler and Devinn Rolland did it in women's track and field/cross country in 2014-15. Fakler and Rolland are XULA's only other first-team AAA selections.
     •  Chikhaoui and Niculescu became the 10th and 11th from XULA to earn Academic All-America®. The first was Joe Drexler-Dreis (men's track and field/cross country second team) in 2008-09. Those 11 have accounted for 15 AAA honors during the past 11 academic years.

The other finalists are Chandra Cheeseborough-Guice of Tennessee State track and field/cross country and AnnMarie Gilbert of Virginia Union basketball.
