Titans finished fifth overall
East Florida State College’s Titans Gear Up for the NJCAA National Tennis Slam
Ja, the Titans are back on the roll— and they’re stepping off the campus courts to hit the national stage in Tyler, Texas, starting May 3. They’ve earned that spot by clinching third place at the FCSAA Women’s Tennis Championship and snapped a pretty sweet streak: that’s the third straight trip to the big tournament.
Who’s Taking the Reins?
- Elena Martinez Prado — “I’m thrilled we’re getting in again. We’re just eager to play hard, have a blast, and keep those volley scores popping!”
- Maria Gento — “We’re back and hungry to finish in the top five. I’m pleasantly surprised to see the Titans still about to go. Let’s rally together!”
- Thais Mitlmeier — Partnered with Maria, they’ve sprinted to the ‘semi‑finals’ in no. 2 doubles.
- Sara Ladino — Alongside Elena, she’s re‑entered the fray for a second‑year no. 3 doubles semi.
Past Performances & Future Dreams
Last year’s national run put the Titans in fifth place overall. This season’s domain? A top‑10 finish for their fourth appearance, and that’s the benchmark they’re gunning for. Maria’s hammered solo journey took a twist when she slipped in the FCSAA final—still, she’s got a seventh‑place hold in the singles, and she’s staring at a #3 singles slot on the line.
Final Thoughts
“Just play, laugh, and keep those racquets humming,” says Martinez. “We’re stocking up on trophies and tell tales at the next meet.” Those are the Titans’ words—bold, blazing, and ready to break the internet (and the tennis world).
