The Eagles did not let a cancelled match ruin their senior day festivities on Monday, as Emory University honored its three graduating women’s tennis players, Tshema Nash, Sabra Rogers and Sara Vrabec.

Nash has earned all-America honors in each of her three previous seasons as an Eagle, receiving two certificates for her singles efforts, and two for her doubles play.  In addition, she was named the UAA’s Most Valuable Player in 2008, and has earned three all-UAA first team honors and two second team honors.  Her 64 career wins in singles player rank her 13^th in school history, and her 60 doubles victories are the 16^th most in the history of the program.  This season, Nash is leading the Eagles with 19 singles victories, including a record of 16-1 during dual matches.  Nash is an Anthropology and Human Biology major from San Marino, CA (The Polytechnic School).

Rogers has earned three all-America honors for her doubles play, and one for singles, during her four-year Emory career.  She has also been named to the all-UAA first team twice, once for singles and once for doubles.  Rogers, a doubles specialist, is currently tied for 10^th all-time in school history with 66 doubles wins during her career, and her 66-43 record is good for a .606 winning percentage.  This season, she is 13-6 in doubles matches.  Rogers is a Psychology major from Charleston, SC (Bishop England).

Vrabec earned an all-America honor is 2008, after winning the ITA Fall Regional Doubles Championship.  She has also been named to the all-UAA first team during her career for both her singles and doubles play.  This season, Vrabec has been Emory’s most reliable singles player, going a perfect 16-0 during the Eagles’ spring dual matches, in addition to an 11-4 record in doubles contests.  Vrabec’s .827 career singles winning percentage (43-9) is the sixth-best in school history, and her.944 winning percentage in singles matches this season currently ranks as the third-best single-season mark in Emory history.  Vrabec is an Anthropology and Human Biology major from Menasha, WI (St. Mary Central).

Emory’s three seniors, along with the rest of the Eagles’ squad, will look to win their 23^rd-consecutive conference title this weekend, as the Eagles will head to Cleveland, OH for the UAA Championships, starting on Friday, April 16^th.
