A year after reaching the title match as a first-year player, Pomona-Pitzer’s Angie Zhou ’25 claimed the 2023 NCAA Division III singles championship in women’s tennis with a 6-2, 6-2 victory over Olivia Soffer of Babson College on May 22 at the USTA National Campus in Orlando, Florida.
Zhou became the fourth Sagehen to be crowned singles champion since the NCAA began holding a women’s competition in 1982, joining Shelley Keeler ’92 (1992), Claire Turchi ’97 (1994) and Siobhan Finicane ’10 (2008).
Zhou, a two-time Intercollegiate Tennis Association first-team All-American and the 2023 SCIAC Athlete of the Year in women’s tennis, also was selected the 2023 D-III Honda Athlete of the Year for Tennis, one of 11 finalists for Honda’s D-III Athlete of the Year.
A computer science major from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Zhou arrived at Pomona as a National Merit Scholarship recipient and National AP Scholar.
