Looking Back
Looking Back on the Spring of 2017
When looking back on the 2017 season for UNC Asheville women's tennis head coach Lise Gregory the one word that seems to describe the year the best is response.
"It was a little bit of an up and down season in some ways because I knew we were a good team, but we still played a couple of bad matches during the year," Gregory said. "The thing that I liked is how we responded to those bad matches."

Strong Fall
The UNC Asheville women's tennis team put together an extremely strong fall of 2017 that even included a doubles win over the University of Virginia. The Bulldogs as a team had strong weekends overall at all three of their fall events in the WNC Mountain Challenge, the Wake Forest Invitational and the Wofford Invite.
All-Academic
The Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) named the UNC Asheville women's tennis team as an All-Academic Team, while five Bulldogs were tabbed Scholar-Athletes for the 2016-17 season.
The UNC Asheville women's tennis team achieved a 3.509 team grade-point average (GPA) for the 2016-17 year, which qualified them for the ITA All-Academic Team award. The ITA All-Academic Team award is open to any ITA program that has a cumulative team grade-point average of 3.20 or above (on a 4.00 scale). All varsity letter winners were factored into the cumulative team GPA for the current academic year.
Madeline Finley, Hunter Hall, Christin Louw, Caroline Sherrer and Emily Sidor were the five Bulldogs that obtained ITA Scholar-Athlete status as they each achieved a GPA of at least 3.50 for the academic year.
