Hall of Fame
In the storied annals of W&M women's tennis, which counts national champions and world major winners among the athletes to wear the Green and Gold, there has only ever been one Megan Moulton-Levy. She excelled during her five years at W&M, to such a degree that two years after she graduated, during the Colonial Athletic Association's 25th Anniversary Celebrations, she was the only women's tennis player selected to the Silver Stars team as one of the 25 best athletes from every sport in league history.
Â
Moulton-Levy arrived in Williamsburg in the fall of 2003, but was unable to play her first year. Starting in 2004-05, however, she played like she was making up for lost time, going 28-12 in singles and 30-13 in doubles while making the NCAA Championships in both. She also led the Tribe to the CAA title and a team NCAA appearance, earning CAA Player of the Year honors for the first time. As a sophomore in 2005-06, she had her most successful singles campaign, going 35-9 and reaching the NCAA semifinals, while also going 20-13 in doubles and reaching the NCAA Tournament again. Moulton-Levy again repeated as the CAA Player of the Year as W&M gained an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Â
In 2006-07, Moulton-Levy ascended to the top-tier of the sport, spending most of the spring season ranked No. 1 nationally in doubles alongside teammate Katarina Zoricic and winning the ITA National Indoor Doubles Championship that fall. Moulton-Levy was 45-5 in doubles that season, and the pair made a run through the NCAA Tournament, reaching the championship match before falling to the No. 2-ranked team in three sets. In singles, Moulton-Levy was 30-7 and was named the CAA Player of the Year for the third time and MVP of the CAA Tournament for the second time. She helped the Tribe finish 22-3 as a team, the best record of her career, and reach the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time since 2003. She brought her career to a finish in 2007-08 with another CAA Player of the Year and MVP season, becoming just the fourth athlete in CAA history in any sport to win four-straight Player of the Year honors. Moulton-Levy and Zoricic reached the NCAA Quarterfinals in doubles, and she made the Round of 16 in singles as well while going 31-8 in singles and 30-8 in doubles on the year.
Â
Moulton-Levy wasn't just a strong competitor on the court, but an ideal student-athlete off the court as well. She was named the winner of the Arthur Ashe Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship in both 2006 and 2007, the only two-time winner in NCAA history. She totaled six All-America awards, second-most in W&M history, and is the only Tribe player to appear in the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships every year of her career. Moulton-Levy stepped up her game against the toughest opponents as well, going 62-30 against ranked opponents in singles and 35-25 in doubles over her four years.
Â
Appropriately, Moulton-Levy's name litters the W&M record books. She graduated as W&M's all-time leader in doubles wins with 125 and still ranks second only to her teammate Zoricic, and her career winning percentage of .758 (125-40) in doubles is fifth-best all-time. In singles, she went 124-36 (.775), ranking third in total wins and in win percentage. Moulton-Levy's 45 doubles wins in 2006-07 is second all-time, and she also ranks 11th in doubles with her 30 wins in both 2004-05 and 2007-08, the only player in school history with three 30+ win seasons. In singles, her 35 wins from 2005-06 are tied for eighth-most all-time.
Â
Moulton-Levy's awards also include four-straight first-team All-CAA honors in both singles and doubles. She was named the VaSID State Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007, and the ITA East Region Player of the Year in 2007 as well. She won the ITA East Region title in singles in both 2004 and 2005, and the doubles championship in 2005 and 2006. Perhaps most importantly in a team sport, she led the Tribe to an incredible four-year run, going 76-27 (.738) in dual matches and making the NCAA Tournament all four years while winning three CAA Championships.
Â
After graduating, Moulton-Levy continued to excel in the professional ranks. She reached a world No. 50 ranking in doubles in 2013 and was nationally ranked among the top-10 several times. She played in all four Grand Slams a total of 14 times, reaching the second round in every one during the 2013 season, and also reached the second round at the U.S. Open in 2014 and the Australian Open in 2017 as well. She won the Monterrey Open doubles title in 2014 and 11 total doubles titles over her career, and advanced to the singles finals of two ITF events, including a win at the 2008 tournament in Evansville, Ind.
