SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Western Carolina women's tennis had two players recognized with Southern Conference post season honors. Freshman Miray Konar was named to the SoCon All-Freshman team while redshirt senior Jordyn King was awarded the Sportsmanship Award.  Postseason balloting was conducted by the league's head coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own student-athletes.

Western Carolina earned the No. 6 seed in the 2022 Southern Conference Championships and will face No. 3 seed Samford at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, April 21, at the Champions Club at Chattanooga, Tenn.

Konar, from Izmir, Turkey, is the seventh Catamount to earn SoCon All-Freshman honors. She ended the regular season with a 7-5 record in singles playing 10 of her 12 matches at No. 2 singles with a 6-4 mark. In doubles play, Konar is second on the team in wins with a record of 10-5. Ten of her 15 doubles matches were at No. 2 doubles with a record of 7-3.

King is 6-5 in singles play this season, having played at every flight but No. 1. Prior to this season, the redshirt senior from Worcester, Pennsylvania, had played just one singles match since her freshman year due to injury.
