Women’s tennis: Seymour honored

UC Irvine senior Jonni Seymour has been named Intercollegiate

Tennis Association West Region Senior Player of the Year in women’s

tennis.

Seymour is one of only four female tennis players to earn first-team

All-Big West Conference honors four times in singles. Currently ranked

81st nationally, she was named to the first team this year by virtue of a

17-7 record at No. 1 singles, as well as winning 11 of her last 14 matches.

Seymour also earned first-team all-conference recognition in doubles

with Tiffany Change. Together, they finished 17-5 in the No. 1 position,

including a 10-match winning streak.

The Anteaters posted a 17-7 record this season, reached the Big West

championship match, and strung together a 13-match winning streak for the

first time since 1977.
