BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — Campbellsville women's tennis had a trio of Lady Tigers earn First- or Second-Team All Mid-South Conference, officials announced on Saturday at the annual awards banquet.
Kaede Amano and
Bolor Enkhbayar were both honored on the first-team, while

Amano, who was also named the Freshman of the Year, boasts an 11-3 singles record with two of her losses coming to to Top 23 players in the Oracle/ITA NAIA Women's National Singles Rankings, which were released on April 12. The wins have come in bunches, though. She started the year by winning four straight matches, including a pair of wins over NCAA Division foes – Maggie Walroth from Bellarmine and Neha Rao from Centre.
In doubles, she has been teamed up with Nobile for 13 of the 15 matches. In addition, she played the opening match of the season with Enkhbayar and the second-to-last match with
Elizabeth Boik. The duo of Amano and Nobile went 9-4 overall.
After a slow start for Enkhbayar, she won seven of her final nine singles matches. In doubles, she teamed up with
Grace Rowe for the majority of the year and went 7-4. Overall, Enkhbayar went 8-5 in doubles.
Nobile, who played at No. 3 in singles for the most part of the year, had a nice season going 8-3. In doubles, she teamed up with Amano going 13-2.
