DURHAM – Duke women's tennis checked in as the top-ranked squad in the Carolina Region, the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) unveiled Wednesday.
Ranked No. 4 in the final ITA national team poll, Duke closed the door on an incredible season that saw it finish with an overall record of 23-4, including the program's 18th ACC title and first since 2012. The Blue Devils also advanced to the NCAA semifinals for the 11th time in school history and ninth time under head coach Jamie Ashworth.
Duke registered 10 wins over top-25 ranked opponents, including a 5-2 victory over undefeated and top-ranked North Carolina on April 15. Additionally, the team reeled off match streaks of five-plus wins on two separate occasions – an eight-match win streak from Jan. 30 – March 25, as well as a 12-match win streak to end the season, before falling to Oklahoma in the national semifinal match.
The ITA also released the regional singles and doubles rankings on Wednesday.
The Blue Devils featured four players in the Carolina Region singles rankings – No. 2 Chloe Beck, No. 5 Georgia Drummy, No. 16 Kelly Chen and No. 19 Emma Jackson. In doubles action, Duke was represented by the No. 4 pairing of Drummy and Karolina Berankova along with ninth-ranked Beck and Ellie Coleman.
Beck led the team in singles wins and finished a stellar junior campaign with an overall record of 34-11. She finished the regular season with an 18-0 mark and 13-0 record in ACC play, making her the first Duke player since 2018 to finish conference play undefeated. Beck posted 12 wins over ranked opponents, including a pair of top-10 wins over No. 7 Irina Cantos (Ohio State) and No. 4 Cameron Morra (UNC).
Drummy ended the 2021-22 campaign on an eight-match win streak and finished with a 24-10 overall ledger. The Dublin, Ireland, native notched wins over 15 ranked opponents, including top-10 victories over No. 6 Irina Cantos Siemers (Ohio State) and No. 4 Daria Frayman (Princeton).
Chen concluded an outstanding Duke career ranked sixth all-time on the singles list (134-48) and fifth all-time in total victories (singles and doubles) with a 222-93 record. A winner of her last six contests, Chen registered a team-best six match-clinching points, including ones in the regular season finale against No. 1 North Carolina, the ACC semifinal match against Miami, and the NCAA quarterfinals against NC State.
Jackson had a sensational freshman campaign that saw her rack up 23 singles wins. She beat eight ranked opponents and finished second on the team with five match-clinching points. Two of those came against Virginia on March 4 and April 24. The first helped Duke complete a 3-1 comeback, while the latter aided Duke in its 18th ACC Championship.
Primarily playing at No. 2 doubles, Beck and Coleman formed a potent doubles pairing, going 11-4 in dual match play and 7-0 in the ACC. Berankova and Drummy also had a solid season at No. 1 doubles, scoring a pair of top-10 wins over No. 8 Emma Navarro and Hibah Shaikh (UVA) and top-ranked Jaeda Daniel and Nell Miller (NC State).
