The excitement of the upcoming spring season has been ignited with the release of the Atlantic Sun Conference's 2025 Tennis Preseason Poll. The Colonel men's team, having garnered significant attention, secured a respectable fifth-place ranking with 46 points, including one first-place vote. This positioning reflects their strong performance in the previous season, where they achieved a commendable 5-4 record within the conference and participated in both the ASUN tournament and the NIT tournament. Leading the pack this year is Stetson, followed closely by the defending champions, North Florida.

On the women's side, the Colonels are positioned eighth in the preseason poll, accumulating 34 points and receiving one first-place vote. Despite last season's challenging 2-8 conference record, the team remains optimistic about their prospects. Stetson once again takes the top spot with an impressive 93 points and six first-place votes, while Lipscomb and North Florida share second place with 78 points each. The competition for the Colonel men began earlier this month with matches against Ole Miss, and they will face Louisville next. Meanwhile, the women's team kicks off their season on January 16th against Western Kentucky.

The anticipation surrounding the new tennis season underscores the dedication and hard work of these athletes. As teams prepare to showcase their skills, it highlights the importance of perseverance and teamwork. Each match represents an opportunity for growth and development, reinforcing the values of sportsmanship and resilience that define collegiate athletics.
