Stetson’s historic season – most wins ever in a season, best winning percentage in a season, longest win streak (tied) – will continue with its first ever berth in the NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championship. Read more.

After claiming its first ASUN Championship title in 33 years, the Stetson University women’s tennis team jumped back into the Division I ITA Collegiate Tennis National Team Rankings, sponsored by Tennis-Point and available here.

Stetson entered the poll at No. 64, the highest for any team that was unranked a week prior. This is the second time the Hatters have been nationally ranked this year, with the first being back in late February, when they reached their highest ever as a program at 62.

With its win April 24 over Liberty, Stetson won its fourth ASUN title, but its first since 1989, and earned the automatic bid for the upcoming NCAA Division I Women’s Tennis Championship, its first in program history. The Hatters will find out their destination for the upcoming tournament during the NCAA’s Selection Show on Monday, May 2.

The team is inviting fans to share in its excitement for this historic event by attending a watch party on Monday at The Parched Oak (145 N. Woodland Blvd., DeLand). The broadcast will begin at 6:30 p.m., but supporters are welcome to stop by earlier to get their own tables, place their own orders, meet the team and see its two 2022 trophies – ASUN regular season and tournament champions.

Athletics logoA second chance to help honor Stetson women’s tennis will be on Tuesday night at Stetson’s baseball game at Melching Field at Conrad Park, a contest that will feature the Hatters versus Florida State. The team will be recognized for their accomplishments that night, as well, at 4:30 p.m. before the baseball team takes on the Seminoles at 5 p.m.

Below are highlights for the team from the 2022 season:
