The
women's tennis team at King's has been a highly competitive program
for several years with a number of players challenging for MAC honors.
Women's tennis at one time
competed in the spring, but Middle Atlantic Conference women's tennis
teams have played a fall schedule since 1993.
The Lady Monarchs traditionally
will play a minimum 15-match schedule, as well as the MAC team and
individual championship tournaments as the end of the regular-season.
Since
the 1998 spring season, King's has also traveled to Florida for a series
of matches during Spring Break.
In 1994, King's standout Maria Adonizio became the first Lady Monarch player to win the MAC Individual
Championships. Several other players have reached the semi-finals in either
doubles or singles.
In 2004, Megan Michael was the MAC runner-up
and was also named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American
First-Team.
In 2007, King's posted a school-record 12-4 mark and qualified for the
MAC Freedom Conference Tournament which will be played in the Spring of
2008. Kristen Hunter and Sarah Guza finished second in the 2007 MAC
doubles tournament, earning all-conference honors along with Jillian
Tallarico.
King's
plays its home matches at Kirby Park,
a 10-court facility which underwent a major facelift in
June, 1999 as the courts were repaved and resurfaced while the overhead
lights were replaced. Kirby Park served as host site of the MAC Championships
on a few occasions.
