The Mids have now started with a 4-0 record in two of the last three seasons, in addition to matching the second-best start to a season in program history.

LEADING THE CHARGE: The duo of Katreina Corpuz (Sr., Ewa Beach, Hawai'i) and Emily Tannenbaum (Fr., Commack, N.Y.) each have a 1-0 record playing out of the No. 1 singles position, leading the way in the early going for Navy. Jillian Taggart (Jr., Fair Oaks, Calif.) has played two matches at the No. 1 singles spot, recording a 1-1 record. 
 
Kacey Moore (Sr., Wellington, Fla.) has netted two wins at the No. 2 singles position, while Sylvia Eklund (Fr., Bellevue, Wash.) has two wins out of the No. 5 spot.

TOP-TANDEMS: In doubles play, the duo of Moore and Taggart have a perfect 2-0 record at the No. 1 position, while Casey Accola (Jr., Winter Garden, Fla.) and Corinne Farid (So., Colmbia, Mo.) have tallied two wins at the No. 2 position.
