Last year the women's tennis team achieved a 3.25 GPA and one of our players earned the Hughes Award for the top female scholar-athlete. Our players are academially driven and acquire time-management skills. When a conflict exists, players stay in class until its conclusion and then come to practice without being penalized. Because we are geographically centrally located in the Centennial Conference, our road trips average less than two hours which rarely presents a conflict with classes.
Faculty members are very supportive of our players athletic endeavors.
Every Spring Break, we compete in an open-ended format at Hilton Head, SC against Division II and III teams from all over the country. Our season consists of 15 matches with Centennial Conference opponents and other regional competition. The Centennial Conference sponsors an individual championship during the last weekend in April. We also have a short non-traditional fall season in September and October. The Centennial Conference allows us 18 practices, as well as scrimmages.
