A Glimpse Through Time: Women’s Tennis at NCAA’s
4/29/2025 | Women's Tennis
OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss women's tennis will make its 22nd appearance at the NCAA National Tournament this week in Ann Arbor, Mich., when the Rebels faceoff against Arizona State in the first round of the regional tournament.
For the Rebels, it's their first appearance in the national tournament since the 2021 season.
Under head coach Mark Beyers, the Rebels have now sent 14 teams to the NCAA tournament. Beyers will have his curtain call run as leader of the team this season, following the announcement of his retirement earlier this month. Dating back to 1991, the Rebels have conducted nine Sweet 16 appearances, with four Elite Eight runs.
A remarkable run, the 2010 team shut out Georgia Tech 4-0 at the Bill Moore Tennis Center to earn its first NCAA Sweet 16 appearance since 1999. The Rebels, ranked No. 17 nationally, earned their eighth Sweet 16 appearance overall and improved to 17-5.
Through the years of 2011-2018, Ole Miss has earned a bid seven times, with six advancing to the second round. The 2018 Individual Tournament was a pivotal one for the Rebels, after Arianne Hartono took home the singles title. Under Beyers, Oxford served as the first and second round hosting site for the second and third time in history in 2012 and 2018, respectively.
After a global pandemic, the Rebels did not waste time to get back into the swing of things. The 2021 team included Alexa Bortles, Tiphanie Fiquet, Lillian Gabrielsen Eesha Gudiseva, Kelsey Mize, Terka Janatova, Grace Anne Jones, Sabina Machalova, Elysia Pool, Anna Vrbenska and Reka Zadori.
Ole Miss entered the NCAA tournament with an 11-9 overall record and 7-6 record in SEC play for the 2021 season. The Rebels were one of 13 SEC women's tennis programs to make the NCAA Championships.
This season, the team is looking to make waves after falling shy of an at-large bid since 2021. All nine Rebels would be competing at the NCAA Championship for the first time in their careers as an Ole Miss Rebel. The 2024-2025 roster is entering the week 15-12 overall.
