Flagler stunned undefeated, top-seeded Barry in a dramatic 4-3 men’s final to claim the program’s first-ever NCAA national title, while Nova Southeastern, the No. 3 seed, beat Catawba to earn its second women’s championship in three seasons. 🏆

“It’s an unbelievable feeling. All of the credit goes to the team as they deserve to be awarded for the hard work they put in every day." — Jonas Piibor, Flagler head coach.

“This NCAA National Championship reflects the dedication, discipline, and competitive excellence of our women’s tennis program.” — Harry K. Moon, M.D., Nova Southeastern President and CEO.

From an all-Florida men’s final to a repeat-winning women’s program, this sweep is a reminder why the Sunshine State is a powerhouse for college tennis, and why investment at every level matters.
