Big Ten Announces 2025 Women’s Tennis Postseason Awards

ROSEMONT, Ill. - The Big Ten Conference announced its 2025 women’s tennis all-conference teams and individual awards on Wednesday, following a vote of the league’s head coaches.  

For the first time since 2011, Michigan swept the individual awards, with senior Julia Fliegner being named Player of the Year, Emily Sartz-Lunde earning Freshman of the Year, while head coach Ronni Bernstein was named Coach of the Year.  

Fliegner is ranked fifth in the latest ITA singles rankings and peaked as high as No. 2 in singles this season, the highest a Wolverine has ever been ranked. Fliegner has a 28-5 overall record and is 12-1 in dual matches, going 11-1 at the top of the lineup. Fliegner was also a unanimous selection on the All-Big Ten First Team.  

Sartz-Lunde is ranked No. 82 in singles play and has compiled a 22-7 overall record and a 9-4 record in dual matches, including a trio of ranked singles wins throughout the regular season. Sartz-Lunde was also a selection on this year’s All-Freshman team.  

Berstein earns her third straight Coach of the Year honor after leading the Wolverines to their third consecutive Big Ten Championship with a 21-3 overall record and a 13-0 mark in conference play. In Michigan’s 13 Big Ten wins, the Wolverines allowed only 10 points to their opponents, holding a 52-10 advantage.  

Ohio State’s Teah Chavez and Luciana Perry were also named unanimous selections on the All-Big Ten First Team, two of three Buckeye’s to earn postseason recognition.
