TEMPE, Ariz. – As she has done so all season, Carson-Newman women's tennis senior Ana Carla Resende (Minas Gerais, Brazil) has maintained a spot in the latest ITA top 75 players for the March 24 poll.
Resende has maintained her spot as one of the top-75 DII women's players as she started off the spring ranked no. 8 in the nation before seeing a spot as the no. 15 player and no. 25 player last week. Heading into this weekend's matchup with Lenoir-Rhyne, the Brazil native claims her spot as the no. 27 ranked women's singles player in all Division II.
So far in the spring 2022 season, Resende has amassed an overall record of 9-2 while holding a mark of 3-0 in SAC play. The senior last suffered a spring season loss during CNWT's matchup with Lee on Feb. 26. Since then, she has rattled off four straight wins, including her three SAC wins thus far.
Resende joins Newberry's Zulay Castaneda (#25), Wingate's Camilla Ciaccia (#32), Queen (N.C.)'s Jill Morse (#40), and Anderson's Anna Greer (#52) as the other South Atlantic Conference women's singles players to be ranked in the top 75 for the March 24 poll.
Resende and the rest of the Carson-Newman women's tennis program will take to the courts for more SAC play this Saturday. The Eagles will head to Hickory, N.C. in hopes of handling business against no. 13 Lenoir-Rhyne who is currently on a 13-match winning streak as their last loss came on Feb. 5 against Newberry at the City of Florence Invitational.
C-N and L-R will hold first serve at 2:00 p.m. Saturday.
