Chi makes history, joining Miami's Estela Perez-Somarriba in becoming the 15th and 16th in league history to be named to four separate All-ACC Academic Women's Tennis Teams over their collegiate career. The Weston, Fla., native becomes the fourth Blue Devil to achieve such a distinction, joining Kaitlyn McCarthy (2016-19), Samantha Harris (2015-18) and
Reka Zsilinszka (2008-11).
Beck, Bilokin and Drummy are all named to the All-ACC Academic Team for the first time in their collegiate careers. It caps off a big year for the trio, who were named ITA All-America for the first time as well.
Beck delivered a breakout sophomore campaign and adds another honor to her resume. Already named All-ACC Second Team and an ITA All-American in doubles with teammate
Karolina Berankova, Beck adds her first All-ACC Academic honor for the first time. A 2020 ITA Scholar-Athlete and ACC Honor Roll honoree, Beck was critical the Blue Devils success, ending the season ranked No. 43 in singles and No. 14 in doubles with Berankova, while securing the clinching win over No. 9 UCF in the round of 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
Bilokin earned her way onto the All-ACC Academic Team after forming one of the best double duos in the country with Chi. Bilokin became an ITA All-American for the first time after several thrilling victories, including over the No. 2 team in the nation in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinal against North Carolina. Bilokin and Chi finished the year ranked No. 9 in the nation and with a 14-5 overall record.
It was a huge year for Drummy, who adds yet another honor to her growing list of distinctions. Drummy quickly asserted herself in the starting lineup and moved up to career-best ranking of No. 12 in the nation in the final ITA rankings of the year. The Dublin, Ireland native ended the season winning 10 of her last 11 singles matches and finished the year with a 22-5 record and 18-3 dual match record. Drummy was named an ITA All-American in singles after reaching the round of 16 in the NCAA Singles Championship and was also named All-ACC Second Team for the first time.
