Womens Tennis Season Summary

The Wildcats won various tournaments during the year, including the Mid-Central College Conference, NAIA Region VIII and the NCCAA national tournament. In April, Indiana Wesleyan hosted the NAIA Region VIII tournament and defeated Marian (Ind.) College 8-1 in the final match to advance to the NAIA national tournament.

The next day, Indiana Wesleyan's season ended with a 5-0 loss to No. 2-ranked Fresno Pacific (Calif.) University, who eventually finished as runner-up in the national tournament.

Since the women's tennis program was restarted in 1991, the overall record is 292-28 with 16 consecutive conference titles and nine straight trips to the NAIA national tournament. The consecutive win streak during the fall regular season now stands at 159 matches, dating back to 1995.
