ADA – East Central University men's tennis junior Marc Fillat has earned a spot on the 12-member 2014 Capital One Academic All-District 7 Men's At-Large Team, as selected by CoSIDA. 

The Vilassar de Mar, Spain, native has a 3.77 overall GPA in marketing at ECU and has helped the men's tennis team to three-straight runner-up finishes at the Great American Conference tennis tournaments.  Fillat has been named to the 2012-13 and 2013-14 GAC All-Academic Teams and is a two-time (2013 & 2014) All-GAC First Team honoree.

Fillat finished the 2014 season with a 9-10 record at doubles with junior Max DeJuan, including a 2-1 mark against league opponents.  The duo finished the season ranked No. 6 in the Central Region by the ITA in doubles.  He also went 3-17 at No. 1 singles for the Tigers.
