Hajji, a second-team selection, joined the team this winter and has been a strong addition at the No. 2 singles and in doubles play.  She posted a 13-2 record in singles play and went 6-3 in doubles competition.  

Pelosi earns her third straight All-OAC selection, this year as an honorable mention.
