Olivia Lindestaf has been named First Team All-Sunshine State Conference for the second consecutive season, the league announced on May 6.
Lindestaf’s recognition highlights her consistent performance in singles play, where she achieved a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, including a conference mark of 5-4. Competing exclusively at the No. 1 position throughout all her matches this year, she secured a victory over a top-10 opponent and recorded twelve straight-set wins.
According to the announcement, “Lindestaf is the first in program history to secure multiple First Team selections, and also the first to earn back-to-back honors since 2005 and 2006.”
