THE FLATS – Scarlett Nicholson picked up some prestigious Atlantic Coast Conference accolades on Thursday to honor her successful women’s tennis season. She was named to the All-ACC singles first team, as the league office announced its postseason awards.
Nicholson held down Georgia Tech’s No. 1 singles position the majority of the season, compiling a 20-8 overall record, including an impressive 15-4 mark in dual action. Currently ranked No. 28 nationally in singles, the sophomore has continued to climb the Intercollegiate Tennis Association national rankings, breaking into the top 100 in late February and rising as high as No. 23 in April.
When competing against ACC opponents this season, Nicholson owns a dominating 8-1 singles record and has won nine-straight matches dating back to March 1. The Toronto, Ontario native has defeated six ranked opponents this season, highlighted by three victories against top 30 opponents. Her highest ranked win came against then-No. 10 Sofia Johnson of Old Dominion, rolling to a straight-set, 6-3, 6-3, triumph. After topping a pair of ranked opponents against Wake Forest and NC State in March, Nicholson was named ACC Player of the Week for the first time in her collegiate career.
This is the first all-ACC honor for Nicholson who was twice-selected ACC Freshman of the Week last season. She is the first Yellow Jacket selected to the first team since Carol Lee in 2023.
North Carolina’s Reese Brantmeier was named the ACC Player of the Year, while Stanford’s Valerie Glozman received Freshman of the Year honors. Virginia’s Sara O’Leary was named the Coach of the Year for the second-consecutive season. The honors were determined by a vote of the league’s head coaches.
