COLUMBIA, S.C. \u2013 WKU Women’s Tennis junior Madison Hill<\/a> claimed the Women’s Open Doubles title at the ITA Summer Series: Points Race Series \u2013 South Carolina on Sunday in Columbia, South Carolina.<\/p>\n

Hill, who signed with the Lady Toppers in May as a transfer from Saint Louis, and partner Franchesca Brown defeated Ava Brewer and Olivia Bull 8-5 in the final match.<\/p>\n

“Very happy for Madison winning the doubles finals at the South Carolina ITA,” WKU Women’s Tennis Head Coach Greg Davis<\/a> said. “The competition at these summer collegiate tournaments is at a very high level and it’s good that we’ve had two players in the finals so far this summer.”<\/p>\n

The duo received a bye in the Round of 16, before defeating Shelby White and Emory Cromer 8-1 in the quarterfinals on Saturday. Hill and Brown claimed an 8-4 victory in the semifinals on Sunday, before the win in the final later the same day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It marks the second finals appearance for a Lady Topper in an ITA Summer Series: Points Race Series event this year. WKU Women’s Tennis redshirt sophomore Isabelle Einess<\/a> advanced to the finals in women’s singles of the Wake Forest event in mid-June.<\/p>\n

The Lady Toppers finished the 2026 season with an 11-14 record, marking the fifth straight season the program has reached double-digit wins. It is the second time in program history WKU Women’s Tennis has accomplished that, also doing so between the 2009-13 seasons. The Lady Toppers have won 73 matches over the last five seasons, which is the highest win total over a five-year period in program history.<\/p>\n
