DURHAM, N.C. - The intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) released its 2003 All-America squads on Friday with Duke's Amanda Johnson, Kelly McCain and Julie DeRoo earning accolades. Johnson became only the second Blue Devil to earn All-America honors for the third time in her career-- Vanessa Webb in 1996, '97, '98 and '99.
A Bettendorf, Iowa product, Johnson finished her junior campaign with a 28-9 overall record and now owns a 91-21 singles mark in three years at Duke. Johnson compiled a 21-6 dual match record and advanced to the final 16 of the NCAA Singles Championship in 2002-03. She was named ITA All-America in both singles and doubles as Johnson teamed with DeRoo to compile a 27-11 overall record. The tandem were ranked as high as second nationally during the season.
McCain earned All-America honors for the second straight year in singles as she registered a 35-3 overall and 27-1 dual match record, while collecting 15 victories against top-25 ranked players. The Tampa, Fla., native became the fifth Duke player to be ranked No. 1 in singles on Feb. 26. She also became the fourth Duke women's tennis player to win a Grand Slam singles title as she won the ITA Riviera All-American in the fall.
DeRoo, a senior from Ecully, France, received All-America honors in doubles for the first time in her career. On the season, DeRoo teamed with Johnson to post a 27-11 overall and 19-8 dual match ledger. The duo were ranked no lower than 13th all season long.
The final team rankings were released on Friday with Duke finishing third. The Blue Devils also had four singles players nationally ranked in the final edition of the rankings-- McCain (4), Saras Arasu (69), Julia Smith (71) and Katie Blaszak (75). Duke's three doubles teams of Johnson/DeRoo (9), McCain/Hillary Adams (16) and Katie Granson/Smith (48) were also ranked.
Duke finished the season with a school-record 30 wins and advanced to its sixth NCAA Final Four.
