The Georgia Bulldogs athletics continued to showcase their dominance this winter as the tennis team celebrated its seventh National Championship in program history. The top-ranked Bulldogs triumphed over the second-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, securing the program’s fifth Indoor National Championship—Georgia’s first tennis title since 2019.
According to the SEC’s release on the victory, it was a monumental day for the Dawgs, particularly for Dasha Midvanoma, who achieved a remarkable trifecta in the title win. The SEC highlights that Midvanoma “becomes the first college women’s tennis player to secure the championship trifecta since Stanford’s Nicole Gibbs in 2013,” having earned victories in singles, doubles, and team national championships throughout her illustrious career. Additionally, Drake Bernstein made history as Georgia’s head coach, becoming “the fastest head coach in Georgia women’s tennis program history to win a national championship at the helm,” according to the SEC.
Georgia has a reputation for winning championships, and while the football team may have fallen short recently, other strengths are clearly emerging. The Dawgs are back on top of the tennis court following their impressive championship victory and are poised to compete again this spring in baseball and softball. This could signal the beginning of even more winning moments in Athens.
Moreover, this success could pave the way for a strong fall on the gridiron. It’s a collective effort, and congratulations are in order for the Georgia tennis team for their outstanding performance.
