SEC Champs! Mark Weaver's Ags claim fifth straight conference title

It’s hard to slow down a freight train.

And that’s all Mark Weaver’s Aggies have been for the last half-decade.

On Saturday, Texas A&M women’s tennis claimed a share of its fifth consecutive SEC regular-season title with a 4-0 win at Arkansas.

The Aggies concluded the regular season at 21-4 and 13-2 in league play.

The celebratory cheers commenced in Fayetteville after a rather quick match in the Natural State.

Lucciana Perez headlines the squad as the No. 1-ranked player in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association singles rankings, the second Aggie to ever top the charts.

The Peruvian is 22-0 on the season, including a perfect 13-0 record in SEC play. She also owns a 33-match SEC regular-season win streak.

Beyond Perez, four of the top-105 singles players are Aggies in No. 35 Mia Kupres, No. 56 Ilinca Amariei, No. 85 Daria Smetannikov and No. 103 Lexington Reed.

Although it may seem like an SEC title is becoming the standard within Weaver’s program, there’s nothing ordinary about extending a championship streak in one of the nation’s toughest conferences. 

Up next, the Aggies will prepare for the SEC Tournament in Norman, Okla. They claimed that crown as well in 2022.

But if Weaver has anything to say about it, this run won’t stop at the conference level.

A&M is eyeing a return to the top of the national stage.
