PRESEASON FAVORITE
The Winthrop women's tennis team has been predicted to finish first in the Big South Conference by the league's coaches, receiving all but one of the first-place votes. This year's selection marks the 15th consecutive year Winthrop has been voted the preseason favorite by the coaches. Winthrop won the league title last season, the program's 19th conference championship overall.
 
HISTORIC NATIONAL RANKING
Junior Lauren Proctor is ranked No. 20 in the Oracle/ITA Division I Women's National Singles Rankings, a slight drop from her previous ranking at No. 14.
