Mackenzie Wills, Ada High School grad and ONU sophomore, finished 23-7 in singles, including 7-1 in the OAC. In doubles, she posted a 20-10 record, including 6-2 in the OAC.
The Polar Bears finished second in the OAC standings for the third consecutive season, and finished in the top-2 of the OAC standings for the eighth straight season.

For their efforts, ONU saw three athletes capture All-OAC accolades as senior Lynn Kelly (Mason), junior Ashley Ochsenhirt (Birmingham, Ala./Briarwood Christian) and freshman Sabine Worthoff (West Chester/Mount Notre Dame) all earned honors.
