NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Three members of the Duquesne women's tennis team have been named to the Atlantic 10's All-Conference teams. Sophomore Kylie Isaacs, freshman Julianne Herman and junior Megan Wasson represent Duquesne.

Isaacs was named First-Team All-Conference. A five-time A-10 Player of the Week, set single-season school record with 56 wins and .882 winning percentage (56-8 overall) all at #1 singles and #1 doubles. She became the fastest player to 100 career wins in program history. Isaacs finished 30-4 in singles and 26-4 in doubles (including a 19-1 doubles record with Herman). She becomes the first Duquesne player to be named First-Team All-Conference two times and the first Dukes player since current assistant coach Vanessa Steiner did in 2012. The information systems management major was also named to the All-Academic Team. She has a 3.95 GPA.

Herman set a program record with seven A-10 Rookie of the Week awards and set a freshman program record with 47 overall wins and 24 doubles wins. She finished the season 23-6 in singles (16-3 in the spring at #2 singles) and 24-4 in doubles (17-1 in the spring at #1 doubles).

Wasson becomes the first player since Carrie Nygard in 2001 and 2002 to be selected to the All-Academic Team in back-to-back seasons. The junior recorded career-highs 26 wins - 10 singles wins and 16 doubles wins. A chemistry major, Wasson has a perfect 4.0 GPA.

Duquesne finished the season tying a program-best with 16 wins.
