It’s been a good 12 months, as far as making history goes, for the NC State women’s tennis program. Last spring, the team reached the Final Four for the first time ever. (And reached the Elite Eight again this season.) Today, Jaeda Daniel and Nell Miller delivered the program’s first-ever national championship.
It’s difficult to overstate just what an accomplishment this is for the women’s tennis program. It wasn’t that long ago that something like this would have felt impossible. For most of its existence, the program has struggled to compete in the ACC, let alone nationally.
