May 3, 2018
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Two members of the Virginia women’s tennis team earned All-ACC honors, with sophomore Rosie Johanson (Vancouver, British Columbia) named to the first team and junior Meghan Kelley (Falmouth, Maine) named to the third team as announced by the conference office on Thursday (May 3).
Johanson earned a spot on the All-ACC team for the second straight season after being named a second team selection as a freshman. She is ranked No. 32 in the latest Oracle/ITA singles rankings for her highest singles ranking of her career. Johanson holds a 22-12 record on the season and went 12-7 in dual matches, with an 8-6 mark in ACC play. She has posted nine wins over nationally-ranked players this season, including a win over ninth-ranked Estela Perez-Somarriba of Miami to help the Cavaliers to an upset win over the Hurricanes. It is the only loss of the season in dual play for Perez-Somarriba, who was named the ACC Player of the Year. Johanson was selected to compete in the NCAA Women’s Singles Championships later this month when the tournament field was announced on Wednesday.
Kelley earns All-ACC honors for the first time in her career after posting a 22-8 mark on the year with a 17-5 record in dual matches. She was 11-3 in ACC play with a 13-3 mark at the third spot in the lineup. She posted four wins over nationally-ranked players this season. Kelley will play in the NCAA Women’s Doubles Championship later this month with Johanson. The duo is currently the No. 16 ranked doubles team in the nation.
