Scouting the Tribe
- The Tribe split its matches last week with a 4-3 win over James Madison and a 4-2 setback at Liberty. W&M is 7-12 on the year.

- W&M captured the doubles point in each of its matches last week with wins at No. 1 and No. 3. Senior Lauren Goodman and junior Charlotte Madson ran their win streak to three at No. 3 and improved to 6-3 at the spot. Senior Clara Tanielian and sophomore Vitoria Okuyama clinched the doubles point in both matches at No. 1.
- Freshman Mila Saric (No. 4), Goodman (No. 5) and junior Natalia Perry (No. 2) won the first three singles matches off the court against JMU to give W&M a 4-0 lead in a rematch of last season's league championship match.
 - Madson won for the sixth time in her last seven matches against Liberty. She ranks second on the team at 10-7 in dual-match singles competition.
- Tanielian and Okuyama earned their first national ranking on Tuesday, coming in at No. 82 in the country. The pair is 8-2 on the year with seven of those wins at the top spot. Included in their haul of wins was a triumph over the No. 48-ranked Penn team of Marta Kowalska and Maija Curnic.
- On three occasions this season, the Tribe has swept the CAA weekly award and owns a total of eight accolades (four singles and four doubles) this season. Saric has been named the CAA Player of the Week on two occasions (Feb. 13 and March 6), while juniors Rosie Cheng (April 2) and Natalia Perry (March 13) have each claimed one. In doubles, Perry and Saric have tallied two weekly honors (Jan. 30 and March 13), while Tanielian and Okuyama took home the award on Feb. 27 and Goodman and Madson garnered the distinction on April 2.
