Five players from Findlay's women's tennis team have earned All-Conference honors in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC), with standout freshman Maria Batinic claiming Freshman of the Year. Batinic's impressive 20-5 singles record, alongside an 8-0 mark in conference doubles, highlights her contributions to the team's success. Coach Jeff Westmeyer received his second consecutive Coach of the Year title as the Oilers finished the season with a 17-1 dual match record, securing the outright regular-season title. Audrey Ouellet was recognized as the Elite 26 Award winner for maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Batinic also led a strong lineup that included three first-team selections and two second-team picks.

By the Numbers
  • Maria Batinic: 20-5 record in singles, 20-3 in doubles
  • Findlay鈥檚 dual match record: 17-1 with a 9-0 G-MAC record
  • Audrey Ouellet: achieved a 4.0 GPA as the Elite 26 Award winner
Yes, But

Despite the accolades, some may argue that the team's success relies heavily on its top performers, raising questions about depth and future seasons without them.

State of Play
  • Findlay finished the season ranked No. 4 in the ITA poll, marking the highest ranking in program history.
  • The Oilers achieved a second straight outright regular-season title and a top seed in the tournament.
What's Next

Looking ahead, Findlay aims to build on this season's successes and maintain its competitive edge, particularly as standout players graduate or depart the program.

Bottom Line

Findlay鈥檚 women's tennis team is on the rise, achieving significant milestones that pave the way for continued excellence, though sustaining this momentum will require focus on developing depth and resilience post-graduation.
