Second Team All-Big South Singles
Sanchez closes out her Blue Hose career with another postseason honor, landing on the Second Team All-Big South Singles list. A 2024 First Team Singles and Second Team Doubles honoree, Sanchez leaves a lasting impact on the program.
This season, the veteran has amassed an impressive 9-11 singles record with five wins at the top spot and four at the number two position.
Her 40 career singles victories place her sixth in the program's all-time record book, while her 16 career Big South singles wins are the most in program history. Her steady presence and consistent production at the top of the lineup cement her as one of the most accomplished players in Blue Hose history.
MCKENZIE DAVIS | JUNIOR & MARY ELLEN LONGMIRE | FRESHMAN
Second Team All-Big South Doubles
The pairing of Davis and Longmire was one of the most consistent and successful on the court this spring. Together the duo put together an impressive eight-match winning streak on their way to an 11-3 overall doubles record. With four wins at the number two position and seven at the third spot, the tandem proved themselves as a strong pair.
Their 13 doubles wins apiece tie them for the third-most in a single season in program history, and mark the first time a Blue Hose player has reached that number since 2019.
Longmire's 13-5 doubles record also places her second all-time at PC for single-season doubles winning percentage at .722. Seven of their victories came at the number three position, tying them for third in the program's single-season record book for wins at that spot.
