Methodist Athletics Hall of Fame
The 2001 and 2002 women's tennis teams featured the greatest player in Methodist history in Elena Blanina, a two-time NCAA Champion in singles (2001, 2002) and a two-time ITA Champion in doubles with playing partner Carla Simpson (2000, 2001). The 2001 team posted a record of 13-3, while the 2002 team was 13-2. Each squad captured the conference championship and Blanina was named the Conference Player of the Year each year, while Simpson was the 2001 Rookie of the Year. In all, Methodist had 10 all-conference singles players and four all-conference doubles teams during the two-year run.
