STEUBENVILLE, OHIO - The Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) released the Women's Tennis All-Conference Teams on Friday afternoon. Four players from Franciscan were recognized by the conference for their outstanding fall season.
Claire Cardie led the way by being named First Team All-PAC in singles and doubles for the second consecutive season. She played each of her matches at the #1 spot and held a 7-5 record, including a 4-3 mark in PAC matches. She joined up with
Kina Ehlers to hold a 10-2 mark at #1 doubles, including a perfect PAC record of 8-0. With these honors, Cardie joins an exclusive list of now four Barons to earn eight All-Conference honors in their career. She joins
Olivia Colby, Maria Herrera, and Grace Hammel as the only Barons to achieve that feat.
Kina Ehlers also earned First Team honors in singles and doubles for second season in a row. This season she held an 11-2 mark while playing at the #2 spot. She held a 7-1 mark in the PAC regular season and earned a singles win in the PAC Semifinal against Grove City. The senior duo of Ehlers and Cardie will go down as one of the best doubles' pairings in Franciscan history, as they earned First Team recognition in two seasons and Second Team honors during their freshman season. Ehlers ends her Franciscan career as a 6x All-PAC player, as she is just the ninth player to reach that milestone or better.
Jordan Beltavski and
Colette Park were named Honorable Mention All-PAC for their play at #2 doubles. The duo started playing together later in the season, but they saw some instant success by winning their first four matches together. Their lone loss came in the PAC Semifinal against Grove City. This is the fifth All-PAC honoring of
Jordan Beltavski's career and the first for the freshman,
Colette Park.
