Following her oustanding freshman season at SMU, freshman Dasha Sharapova has been named to the American Athletic Conference All-Conference Team, league officials announced Thursday. Sharapova posted an overall mark of 18-12 this season and spent time at the No. 1, 2 and 3 singles positions. In doubles, the freshman went 21-7 overall and was paired with four different teammates. Her best mark came with sophomore Vaszilisza Bulgakova as the tandem recorded a 16-4 overall record including an 11-3 mark at the No. 1 spot.

“This is well deserved award as Dasha had a good freshman year,” head coach Kati Gyulai said. “She was very resilient all season long as she showed great desire and discipline throughout the year.”
