Wylie & Rosen Earn ITA Atlantic South Region Honors

Wylie & Rosen Earn ITA Atlantic South Region Honors

Emory University senior Jordan Wylie and freshman Beatrice Rosen were each recognized as regional award winners by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), as Wylie was named the Atlantic South Region's Senior Player of the Year, and Rosen claimed the region's Rookie of the Year Award.

Wylie, a two-time All-American, has a career 69-38 record in singles play, tied for the 16th-most victories in school history and good for a career winning percentage of .645.  She has also contributed with a career doubles record of 62-34 for a .646 winning percentage. Wylie has been named to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) team each year of her career, including berths to the first team for her play at both third singles and second doubles this year.  This season, she has gone 14-11 in singles play (including a 9-5 record during the spring season) and 15-6 in doubles action (including a 13-3 mark with teammate Madison Gordon).  In addition to her participation in the upcoming team championships, Wylie is the Atlantic South Region's alternate in both the singles and doubles draws at the NCAA Championships.

Wylie joins former Eagles Mary Ellen Gordon (2004), Richelle Marisigan (2007) and Lorne McManigle (2011) as the program's Regional Senior Player of the Year Award recipients.

Rosen ranks second on the squad this year with an overall singles record of 21-6, including a perfect 6-0 mark as Emory's second-singles player during the year and a 16-2 record during the spring season.  Of her six loses, only one has come against a Division III opponent, a three-set defeat at the hands of teammate and National Singles Champion Gabrielle Clark in the fall (also marking the only two sets she has lost to a Division III opponent this year).  Rosen currently has a 13-match winning streak in singles play, the longest active streak by an Eagle.  She claimed the UAA Rookie of the Year award, after earning all-conference first team recognition for her play at second singles.  Based on her efforts during the year, Rosen was selected to compete in the individual singles draw at the 2013 NCAA Division III Championships.

Rosen is the sixth Emory player to be named the ITA Regional Rookie of the Year, joining Alexa Wilensky (1997), Emily Warburg (2000), Mary Ellen Gordon (2001), Jolyn Taylor (2003), Tshema Nash (2007) and Clark (2011).

By virtue of being selected as the regional award winners, both Wylie and Rosen will be eligible for national honors in their respective categories.  The ITA will announce the national award winners on Wednesday, May 22nd, the night before the start of the NCAA Division III Singles and Doubles Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The Eagles, 16-4 during the 2013 campaign, will return to action on Monday, May 20th at 8:30 AM, facing sixth-ranked Middlebury College in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
