Virginia Dominates Final ITA Atlantic Region Rankings
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – The Virginia women’s tennis team was atop the final ITA Atlantic Region rankings as announced Wednesday (June 9) by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The Cavaliers were the top-ranked team among the 11 in the region as well as having the top-two singles players and top-three doubles teams.
NCAA Singles champion Emma Navarro topped both the region’s singles and doubles rankings with sophomore Natasha Subhash ranked second behind Navarro on both lists. Senior Rosie Johanson gave UVA its third top-10 ranked singles player as she came in at No. 6. Johanson joined Navarro atop the doubles rankings while Sofia Munera joined Subhash. Virginia’s most-common No. 3 doubles tandem of Amber O’Dell and Vivian Glozman ranked third in the region.
The Cavaliers had a strong showing in the final national rankings, which released the week prior. The Cavaliers were No. 9 in the final team rankings, the fourth time in program history the team ended the year ranked in the top-10. The Cavaliers were ranked as high as No. 8 this season, the program’s best ranking since 2016.
Navarro finished second in the final computerized singles rankings with Subhash at No. 15 and Johanson at No. 102.
