DURHAM, N.C. – Duke women's tennis recent graduate
Ellie Coleman has been tabbed Academic All-America by the College Sports Communicators, as announced Tuesday.
Coleman earned second team recognition and becomes just the fifth Blue Devil to receive the honor joining Chloe Beck (2022, 2023), Vanessa Webb (1999), Monica Mraz (1995) and Julie Exum (1993).
An All-America selection in her final year at Duke, Coleman rounded out her collegiate career in impressive fashion with a career-best season. She collected a career-high 26 singles wins and finished the year ranked No. 85 in singles, which was a season-best ledger. Coleman, a native of Midland, Mich., posted a 19-2 dual match singles record along with a 10-0 ACC mark and went a perfect 11-0 at No. 6 singles. She finished her career with an 83-38 singles and 80-44 doubles mark.
Coleman became the 32nd student-athlete in Duke history to register three 20-win singles seasons, the 34th Blue Devil with multiple 20-win doubles seasons and 27th Duke player with multiple 20-20 seasons (20 wins in both singles and doubles).
With a degree in environmental science and policy, Coleman collected an impressive 3.83 grade-point average over four years.
She helped lead Duke to a 24-4 overall record, a 12-0 ACC mark and a trip to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship. The Blue Devils captured their 22nd ACC regular season championship and Duke's first undefeated mark since 2012.
