North Attleboro, Mass. – After being named the Northeast 10 Player of the Year and the ITA/Dunlop East Region Senior Player of the Year, Adelphi University's Katarina Liedbeck has now been named the institution's nominee for the Northeast 10 Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, announced by the league office this afternoon.

The NE10 presents its prestigious Outstanding Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards to a male and a female graduating student-athlete who have each exhausted their athletic eligibility and exhibited sustained excellence in both academic achievement and athletic competition.

The reigning Vern Cox Player of the Year, two-time CSC Academic All-American, two-time ITA East Region doubles champion and Adelphi's Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, Liedbeck graduates with a 3.985 cumulative grade point average and a degree in computer science, with a minor in mathematics.

Liedbeck has been named the NE10's Elite 24 award winner three times and this year propelled the Adelphi women's tennis team to its first conference title since 2023 while playing in the No. 1 singles and doubles flights. Off the court, the Bastad, Sweden native is a member of the Adelphi Fellows Leadership Program, a tutor at the Center for Academic Enrichment and Sports, and the community service representative for the women's tennis team.

Post-graduation, she plans to pursue her master's degree at Adelphi in software engineering before looking for work in either web development, database creation or sports analytics research.

Award winners will be named at the 2026 NE10 Banquet, scheduled for Monday, June 1 in Colchester, Vt.
