Winston-Salem, N.C. - Senior Karin Coetzee and sophomore Ashlee Davis have been ranked among the top-100 Division I college tennis players in both singles and doubles, as announced today by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
A strong 8-4 overall singles record during the fall that included a victory in the flight one singles of the St. Mary's Invitational tournament and a second place finish at the ITA Southeast Regionals helped Coetzee move from the #18 spot to the #16 position going into the spring. She is the third highest ranked ACC player, behind #2 Megan Bradley of Miami and #5 Julie Coin of Clemson.
In doubles, Coetzee paired up with Davis through the fall, finishing the year with a 6-4 overall record that helped them reach the quarterfinals of the ITA Southeast Regional Tournament. Ranked at the #48 spot in the preseason rankings, the duo has jumped to the #33 position.
Davis, the 2004 ACC Rookie of the Year, finished her freshman campaign with an 18-13 overall record and was twice named the ACC player of the week. Ranked at the #77 position, she has moved up from her final 2004 ranking of #101.
The Demon Deacons will open their spring season on Saturday, Jan. 22 with a home match against Charlotte. Match time at Leighton Stadium is set for 11 a.m.
