CLEVELAND, OH – The North Coast Athletic Conference is celebrating its 40th playing season by selecting All-Decade teams in all 23 championship sports. Student-athletes that competed in the NCAC between the 2013-14 and the 2022-23 seasons who earned Player of the Year honors, or who earned a minimum of three all-NCAC first-team nods during this time were named to the team.
In women's tennis, 20 student-athletes have been recognized for their outstanding accomplishments on the court.
Three different NCAC teams earned a league title in women's tennis over the last 10 years, including DePauw, Denison, and Kenyon. DePauw's titles in 2014 and 2015 were a part of the Tigers' four-year reign that began in 2012. In 2016, the Big Red won their first title since 2011 and then in 2017, the Owls found themselves atop of the league for the first time since 2001. Kenyon went on to win three more titles throughout the decade (2018-19, '21). In 2022, Denison won the program's 13th title; however, in 2023, Kenyon was the conference champion once again, bringing the program's total to a league-leading 20 trophies. No champions were crowned in 2020 due to COVID-19.
Founded in 1983, the North Coast Athletic Conference currently consists of nine academically selective NCAA Division III colleges and universities - Denison University, DePauw University, Hiram College, Kenyon College, Oberlin College, Ohio Wesleyan University, Wabash College, Wittenberg University, and the College of Wooster along with affiliate members Allegheny College, Earlham College, Transylvania University and Washington & Jefferson College (field hockey). The NCAC sponsors 23 championship sports, 11 for men and 12 for women.
