"I am extremely happy for the players on Transy's Women's Tennis Team for this well deserved recognition. One of my favorite things about Division III is the emphasis they place on academics while remaining highly competitive, and this team really embodies that. They have been hugely successful on the court, and are truly elite in the classroom. I am, as always, very impressed by their work ethic, and very grateful to work with such a group," said Head Coach Bill Carey of the team's accomplishments. 

Vice President of Athletics, Dr. Holly Sheilley said of the teams, "I continue to be so proud of our student-athletes as they excel in the classroom. They show the true meaning of what a student-athlete should be."
