GREENSBORO, N.C. - UNCG women's tennis commemorates the careers of five Spartan seniors this Wednesday, as Sophia Adams, Eugenia Camacho, Tayah Cross, Brianna Gomez and Emily Ory compete in the final home match against visiting Mercer. 

The Spartan senior class has combined for 22 match wins since the 2017-18 campaign, while fifth-year seniors Adams and Camacho have been a part of 25 since their freshman season in the spring of 2017. As a team, Spartan women's tennis was one of three UNCG programs to receive the NCAA Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition honor this past summer, while Adams and Cross both collected ITA Scholar-Athlete recognitions. Four of the Spartans' seniors being honored this Wednesday were named to the SoCon Academic Honor Roll last year, with Cross garnering the Southern Conference Commissioner's Medal. 

MATCHUP HISTORY
• The Spartans are 2-4 against the Bears going back to 2015, and 2-3 against the side when playing Mercer in a regular season matchup in that same span
• UNCG's 2020 season was postponed due to the COVID pandemic before its scheduled match against the Bears, last facing Mercer on St. Patrick's Day in 2019. The Bears grabbed a 5-2 victory in that meeting, with the Spartans tallying the doubles point, and current UNCG senior Emily Ory earning her team's second point in singles play

THE SPARTANS
• Freshman Juliana Craft grabbed her second straight singles win in the Spartans' meeting with Chattanooga this past Monday, her seven victories on the year trail only Hanna Giddings (8) for a team-high
• Giddings started the spring on a six-match unbeaten streak and is 2-2 in her past four matches. She also leads the Spartans with four wins in doubles play, with three of those decisions coming alongside senior Sophia Adams in UNCG's top pairing
• Brianna Gomez' 5-2 record in No. 2 singles is the third-best mark among SoCon competitors with at least two matches played in that flight, she earned SoCon Player of the Week honors at the end of March after defeating No. 77 Julia Adams of Furman 

THE BEARS
• Sophomore Mary Courville leads the Bears with nine individual wins in 2021, with six of those victories coming while playing No. 3 singles. Her record tops the SoCon for student-athletes to compete in three or more third-seed singles matches this year
• Senior Maeva Roquebert holds a 6-5 record this spring, with all of her results coming against opponents' top individual performer. Her 2-1 record against SoCon No. 1s is third in the conference, trailing only ETSU's Laylo Bakhodirova and No. 9 Katarina Kozarov of Furman

COMING UP NEXT
The Spartans put a close to the 2021 spring season on Saturday, facing Richmond on the road for 2 p.m. first serve.
