DETROIT -- The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) announced that former men's tennis standout Michael FitzGerald (Grosse Ile, Mich.) has received the 2014 GLIAC Male Postgraduate Scholarship. FitzGerald was just accepted into the Wayne State University School of Medicine and is currently undecided on a specialization. FitzGerald graduated this past May with a degree in Nutrition and Food Science Honors with a 3.81 cumulative GPA.

FitzGerald, along with the female recipient, will each receive $5,000 in aid to the graduate school of their choice. The voting for the GLIAC Postgraduate Scholarship was conducted by the Faculty Athletic Representatives of the GLIAC member institutions.

The four-year letterwinner, FitzGerald finished his Warrior career third in career doubles wins (59) and fourth in singles victories (50). The Grosse Ile native reached the 10-win mark in both singles and doubles all four of his seasons wearing the Green & Gold and posted a career record of 109-75. He is a three-time GLIAC All-Academic Excellence Team selection, a three-time ITA Scholar-Athlete Award recipient, a two-time DII ADA Academic Achievement Award honoree and a CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team selection this past season. FitzGerald was a Deans' Award winner this past year for having the highest cumulative GPA among student-athletes in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. On the courts, he was an Honorable Mention All-GLIAC selection in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

In addition, FitzGerald was named to the Athletic Director's Honor Roll (Term GPA3.5+) all eight semesters. His career ambition is to be a doctor and he served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) during his undergraduate days.
