Rocky Mount, N.C. - On Mondays this summer, the NCWC Department of Athletics has been counting down the top-10 moments of the 2014-2015 season. As we close in on #1, the #3 moment recaps the "Bishop Tennis Takeover" by NCWC.

#3... BISHOP TENNIS TAKEOVER (SPRING 2015)
The 2015 USA South Women's Tennis season was one for the record books. After running the table against USA South opponents during the regular season, the 2015 USA South Women's Tennis Tournament concluded on Sunday, April 19, with top-seeded Wesleyan claiming the program's first championship and NCAA berth. The Battling Bishops swept 2nd-seeded Methodist 9-0 to earn the title.

From there, the Bishops made their NCAA Tournament debut with a dominating 5-0 sweep of Alvernia University on May 8 before falling to 4th-ranked Washington & Lee by the same score the following day. Wesleyan ended the season with a 15-3 overall record, outscoring opponents 124-3 in the 15 victories. The season was by far the most successful in program history as the Bishops set team records for wins (15), consecutive wins (15), USA South wins (12) and fewest losses (3).

Individually, freshman Sofia Prado set a new program record for singles wins with 18, while sophomore Natalia Lopez and freshman Fernanda Orona combined to eclipse the record for doubles victories with 17. Lopez was also named the USA South's Player of the Year and collected her second consecutive individual conference honor after being named USA South Rookie of the Year as a freshman.

Congratulations to the Battling Bishop women's tennis team on a remarkable season!
