Tempe, Ariz. - On Friday, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) released its end-of-season regional rankings for Division II, with sophomore Alessa Maier ending the season at No. 4 in the singles ranking.

This ranking marks the highest end-of-season ranking for a singles player in program history and comes after Maier finished the season ranked No. 52 in the national singles rankings with a 16-5 record and was 8-1 in Lone Star Conference play. She ended the year with six straight victories and triumphed in 14 of her last 15 matches. These efforts earned Maier a First-Team All-LSC selection and she was also named to the All-LSC Tournament Team. 

Maya Donkor and Raina Zaffar, finish the season at No. 7 in the doubles rankings. The ranking comes after earning two wins against highly-ranked opponents in the Lone Star Conference Tournament back in April.
