Women's Tennis Drop One Spot in Final NAIA Poll

KANSAS CITY, Mo.- The women's tennis team was on the move again in the newest national poll released on Wednesday. The poll saw the Lady Bulldogs drop a spot to No. 6 in the 2024 NAIA Women's Tennis Coaches' Top 25. This was the final edition of the poll released by the national office. 

The Top 25 was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and Unaffiliated Groupings.

Tennessee Wesleyan had 290 voting points while moving a spot up the poll. Like it has all been all season, the Lady Bulldogs were the highest-ranked team from the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) in the poll.
