IRVING, Texas – The American Conference announced its women's tennis postseason honors Tuesday morning, with Tulsa's Carolina Alonso earning Freshman of the Year recognition and a spot on the All-Conference Team.
Alonso compiled a 17-8 singles record and a 7-14 mark in doubles during the 2026 spring season, while also adding 10 wins during fall competition. Her signature victory came in April, when she defeated the nation's No. 111-ranked singles player in Tulsa's match against Wichita State.
The Cordoba Veracruz, Mexico, native primarily competed in the No. 3 singles position throughout the dual season. In doubles play, she teamed with senior Maria Santos for most of the year, appearing in the top two spots of the lineup.
