It seems as if a national championship was only the beginning of the hardware collection for this year’s UCLA women’s tennis team.
On Wednesday, the Pac-12 women’s tennis all-conference awards were announced and the Bruins were heavy winners.
Junior Robin Anderson, who spent much of the year as a top-two nationally ranked singles player, took home Singles Player of the Year. Freshman Jennifer Brady won Freshman/Newcomer of the Year after bursting on to the scene this year with a singles title at Pac-12 championships and a 39-8 record from the No. 2 spot.
Together, Anderson and Brady were named the Doubles Team of the Year, as the pair were ranked No. 1 in the nation all season long. And if the two hadn’t received enough accolades yet, both were named first team All-Pac-12.
Junior Chanelle Van Nguyen made second team All-Pac-12, while sophomore Kyle McPhillips was an honorable mention.
