After winning the team's sixth consecutive University Athletic Association championship and 29th overall this past weekend, the Emory University Women's Tennis team placed six Eagles on the UAA All-Tournament team as announced by the conference office Thursday morning.
Leading the six players on the All-Tournament team was freshman Ysabel Gonzalez-Rico, who was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Gonzalez-Rico went 3-0 at first singles and 3-0 at first doubles over the three matches to lead the Eagles to the conference title. Gonzalez-Rico also garnered a spot on the UAA All-Tournament First Team for both singles and doubles.
Junior Daniela Lopez and freshman Defne Olcay joined Gonzalez-Rico on the All-Tournament team for singles play. Both players were a perfect 3-0 in their matches over the course of the tournament and notched straight set wins against Chicago in the championship match.
Emory claimed two of the three doubles spots on the All-Tournament team as well with Gonzalez-Rico and senior Bridget Harding, the 2017 UAA All-Tournament MVP, earning the No.-1 doubles spot and senior Anna Fuhr and freshman Stephanie Taylor being named to the No.-2 Doubles position. Gonzalez-Rico and Harding improved to 17-0 in the spring and 29-4 overall with three wins at the tournament while Fuhr and Taylor were victors in all three matches to move to 13-7 on the season.
