Iakovleva’s ranking marks the first time in school history a Morgan State tennis player has earned a regional ranking. Iakovleva, who this past season was a first-team All-Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) selection, led the Lady Bears to their best season in recent years, helping the team secure their first MEAC North Division title and a spot in the MEAC title match. Morgan State would eventually fall by one point to South Carolina State, which captured its ninth straight championship. Iakovleva would finish with a 21-2 record at No. 1 singles, including a 20-match winning streak to conclude the season, after defeating the MEAC Player of the Year, South Carolina State’s Maria Cracium, 6-4, 6-4 in the title match.
