Freshman (2013-14):

Satterfield made an immediate impact on the Eagles’ roster during her freshman season, earning all-America honors for both her singles and doubles play.  In the fall, Satterfield became just the second Emory freshman to ever win the singles draw at the ITA Small College National Championships, and teamed with Rebecca Siegler to finish third in the doubles draw.  She earned entry to the event by winning both the singles and doubles draw at the ITA Regionals earlier in the fall season.  In the spring, Satterfield teamed with Gabrielle Clark (as the fourth-seeded pair) to reach the semifinals of the NCAA Doubles Championships, and finished the year with an overall doubles record of 31-9, the second-most doubles wins in a single season in school history and the most ever by an Emory freshman.  Satterfield was also named the University Athletic Association (UAA) Rookie of the Year (becoming the fifth player in Emory history to earn the honor), and earned all-conference first team recognition for her play at third singles and first doubles.  She recorded a singles mark of 28-7 during the year, tied for the fourth-most singles victories in a season in the program’s history and tied for the most ever by a freshman.  She finished the year ranked fourth nationally in doubles and 34th in singles, while also placing ninth in the final regional singles poll and first in the doubles poll.
