Roswell's Jordan Wylie Named Regional ITA Senior Player of the Year

Centennial High School grad Jordan Wylie, who now plays for Emory University, was named the Atlantic South Region’s Senior Player of the Year by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA).

According to information from Emory, Wylie, a two-time All-American, has a career 69-38 record in singles play, tied for the 16th-most victories in school history and good for a career winning percentage of .645.

She has also contributed with a career doubles record of 62-34 for a .646 winning percentage. Wylie has been named to the all-University Athletic Association (UAA) team each year of her career, including berths to the first team for her play at both third singles and second doubles this year. This season, she has gone 14-11 in singles play (including a 9-5 record during the spring season) and 15-6 in doubles action (including a 13-3 mark with teammate Madison Gordon). In addition to her participation in the upcoming team championships, Wylie is the Atlantic South Region’s alternate in both the singles and doubles draws at the NCAA Championships.

Wylie joins former Eagles Mary Ellen Gordon (2004), Richelle Marisigan (2007) and Lorne McManigle (2011) as the program’s Regional Senior Player of the Year Award recipients.

By virtue of being selected as the regional Senior Player of the Year, Wylie is eligible for national award as well. The ITA will announce the national award winners on Wednesday, May 22, the night before the start of the NCAA Division III Singles and Doubles Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The Eagles, 16-4 during the 2013 campaign, will return to action on Monday, May 20 at 8:30 a.m., facing sixth-ranked Middlebury College in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
