Women's Tennis Lands Five on ITA All-American Team
The Bruins' All-Americans for 2015 are: Robin Anderson, Chanelle Van Nguyen, Kyle McPhillips, Catherine Harrison and Jennifer Brady. They are all multiple All-Americans, as the same five players were also named to the 2014 ITA All-America team.
Anderson, who finished this season as the nation's top-ranked player, becomes just the seventh player in school history to earn All-America honors every year of her career. The other six players are: Mamie Ceniza (1989-92), Kathy O'Brien (1979-82), Keri Phebus (1993-96), Stella Sampras (1988-91), Sara Walker (2000-03) and Riza Zalameda (2005-08).
In order to be named an All-American for singles, players had to meet one of the following criteria: Top 16 seed in NCAA Singles Draw; reach round of 16 in NCAA Singles Championships; finish in the top 20 of final ITA Singles Rankings. In doubles, All-America honors were given to those who were a top 8 seed in the NCAA Doubles Championships; reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Doubles Championships or finished in the top 10 of the final ITA Doubles Rankings.
