4/27/2017 | Women's Tennis
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - There are 11 teams, 12 players and 14 doubles teams from the Southeastern Conference in the latest Oracle/ITA Top 25 Rankings, making Thursday's announcement of the SEC postseason awards a list of the best in college tennis. Ole Miss junior All-American Arianne Hartono is among the elite, earning All-SEC first team honors.
This is the third year in a row for Hartono (Meppel, Netherlands) to be recognized by the SEC. Last year, she was named to the second team and in 2015 she made the All-Freshman Team.
"To be named first team All-SEC is a tremendous honor for Arianne," head coach Mark Beyers said. "This conference is a who's who of college tennis. Arianne has established herself as one of the premier players in this conference. Playing at No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles she has a tough task every time she steps on the court. Ari has worked extremely hard to get to this point and is excited about finishing the year strong during the NCAA's."
Hartono is ranked No. 27 in the nation in singles and also ranked twice in the top 25 in doubles, including No. 21 with current partner Alexa Bortles. She owns a 18-13 overall record, 13-10 at No. 1 singles.
With Hartono's leadership at the top of the lineup, the Rebels have positioned themselves to receive their ninth straight NCAA bid. Hartono is also in position to earn her second NCAA bid in singles and doubles.
The field of 64 for the NCAA Team Championships will be revealed May 2 at 4:30 p.m. CT on NCAA.com, while the individual selections will be announced on May 3.
