Elbaba and Nauta each earn their third All-ACC honor, tying a school record held by Alison Cohen (1994-96) and Lindsey Hardenbergh (2010-12).

Nauta earns her third straight All-ACC honor after posting a 14-7 dual record. Nauta, who has a team-leading 29 singles wins, is ranked No. 36 in the latest ITA singles rankings.
