4/22/2024 4:31:00 PM | Women's Tennis
RICHMOND, Va. – The Drexel women's tennis team has been selected as the No. 4 seed in the upcoming Coastal Athletic Association Women's Tennis Championship, which will begin on Thursday, April 25 in Elon, N.C. The Dragons have received a first round bye and will play the winner of No. 5 Elon vs. No. 12 Monmouth.
Drexel's No. 4 pick is the highest CAA Tournament seeding in program history. The Dragons have come close before, being picked fifth twice in 2018 and 2019, but the Dragons have never been a top-four selection since joining the CAA in 2002.
DU finished regular season play with an 11-7 record and a 3-2 tab in conference play. Led by Lorie Lemongo, who has 17 wins, Drexel has five players who have won over 11 matches this year. In the spring portion of the season, Isabel Cabrerizo leads the Dragons with a 13-4 mark, sporting a 10-1 record at the No. 4 spot. Lemongo, who is Drexel's No. 1 finished the spring season with a 12-5 record. Elisa Rigazio closed the season on an eight-match win streak and has gone 9-1 in the last 10 matches.
Drexel has found confidence in doubles play as the pairing of Rigazio and Maddie Ricardo have pieced together a 13-3 record at No. 2, and have won seven of the last 10 matches.
