Tarleton State University's tennis sensation, Noelia Lorca, is set to compete in the prestigious ITA Conference Masters Championship in Rome, Georgia, starting on Thursday. Lorca, a senior, has been making waves in the collegiate tennis circuit, and her recent accomplishments have earned her a spot in this prestigious event.

Unleashing Her Talent on the Court

Dominant Performance at the WAC Fall Tennis Invitational

Noelia Lorca, a Spaniard by birth, has been a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court. Her recent triumph at the WAC Fall Tennis Invitational is a testament to her exceptional skills and determination. Lorca, the No. 5 seed, navigated her way through the tournament, defeating the top two seeds en route to the title. Her dominance was evident as she secured two "bagels" (6-0 sets) and won 80% of the sets she played.

Earning WAC Singles Player of the Month Honors

Lorca's impressive performance at the WAC Fall Tennis Invitational has earned her the prestigious WAC Singles Player of the Month award for October. This recognition further solidifies her status as one of the top players in the conference.

Continuing Her Momentum at the ITA Conference Masters Championship

Lorca's success in the fall season has earned her a spot in the ITA Conference Masters Championship, where she will face off against Xavier's Madeleine Rexroat in the first round. Rexroat, a five-star recruit, has also made a name for herself on the collegiate tennis circuit, reaching as high as No. 49 in the country on TennisRecruiting.net.

Lorca's Impressive Career Trajectory

Prior to joining Tarleton State, Lorca spent two seasons at former WAC member Lamar, where she compiled an impressive 18-17 record in singles and earned First Team All-SLC honors. Now, as a senior at Tarleton State, Lorca has continued to excel, leading the Texans in singles wins last season with an 18-2 (.900) overall record, including a perfect 8-0 mark at the No. 5 position.

Lorca's Accolades and Achievements

Lorca's impressive performance last season earned her a spot on the WAC Singles All-Conference Second Team and the conference's All-Tournament Team. Her ability to perform at a high level in both singles and doubles has been a key factor in her success, as evidenced by her recent ITA Texas Regional Championships consolation doubles title with teammate Emma Persson.

Preparing for the ITA Conference Masters Championship

As Lorca prepares for the ITA Conference Masters Championship, she will face a formidable opponent in Madeleine Rexroat. However, Lorca's track record of success and her ability to rise to the occasion suggest that she is more than capable of making a deep run in the tournament. Fans and supporters of Tarleton State tennis will be eagerly following Lorca's progress, hoping to see her continue her impressive run and cement her status as one of the top players in collegiate tennis.
