Lazaridou, the first women’s tennis player to earn four NCAC Player of the Year honors, has posted a 13-4 dual record this season, all at the top flight, and recorded a 3-1 mark against conference opponents. She has also earned four-straight All-NCAC first-team honors and becomes the eighth-consecutive and 22nd overall Player of the Year recipient for the Owls. The 2023 NCAC Newcomer of the Year is currently ranked 30th in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national rankings.
Lazaridou and Nouaime posted a 13-5 doubles record all from the No. 1 flight this season, en route to their Doubles Team of the Year honor. This is the sixth-consecutive doubles team honor for Kenyon. The duo went a perfect 4-0 against NCAC opponents and owns the 14th spot in the ITA's national rankings. Nouaime also earned a selection to the second team for her singles play at the No. 2, 3 and 4 flights after the sophomore went 10-6 in dual matches and posted a 3-0 mark in NCAC play.
Joining Kenyon’s Lazaridou on the first team in singles play are Denison senior Peyton Oda (Elk Grove Village, IL/Elk Grove) and sophomore Caitilin Van Winkle (Indianapolis, IN/Park Tudor School), John Carroll junior Maddie Kavenagh (Akron, OH/Revere HS), Kenyon first-year Kiara Komlodi (Dunakeszi, Hungary/Csanádi Árpád Általános Iskola), and Oberlin first-year Stella Kollmansberger (Brooklyn, NY/Frank Sinatra School of the Arts).

In addition to earning All-NCAC first-team honors in her first year of collegiate women’s tennis, Komlodi was named the NCAC Newcomer of the Year. She posted a 16-5 dual record, including a 5-0 record at the top flight and an 11-5 mark at No. 2. She is the 12th Owl to earn NCAC Newcomer of the Year honors and the first since Lazaridou in 2023.
