HUDSONVILLE, Mich. - The Saint Mary's tennis team had three of its members named All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) for the 2024 season, as announced by the league office.

 

Alayna Campbell was named as an All-MIAA First Team honoree while Evelyn Demblans-Dechans and Emma Kealy were both All-MIAA Second Team selections.

 

A junior from Granger, Indiana, Campbell posted a 5-3 record at one singles in MIAA matches this year with a 7-1 mark at one doubles against league opponents. Four of her five singles wins came in straight sets during the season. Six of the seven doubles matches were decided by at least four games. Campbell was selected as the MIAA Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week in early March.

 

A sophomore from Missoula, Montana, Demblans-Dechans went 7-1 in MIAA matches at three singles and partnered up with Campbell for a 7-1 record at one doubles in league matches. All seven of her singles wins were straight-set victories. Each set won by Demblans-Dechans in league play was by an average of nearly four games. She was also named MIAA Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week in September.

 

A sophomore from Hudson, Ohio, Kealy had a 6-2 record at two singles against MIAA competition and was part of a 6-2 record at two doubles in league matches in 2024. Five of Kealy's singles wins in MIAA play were in straight sets. In doubles play, the margin of victory in her six wins was by more than five games. Kealy was selected as the MIAA Women's Tennis Athlete of the Week in late February.

As a team, the Belles went 6-2 in MIAA play in 2024 and finished third in the regular season standings.

 

It is the third All-MIAA honor for Campbell and her first nod as a First Team selection. The All-MIAA honors for Demblans-Dechans and Kealy are the first of their careers.

 

It is the first time since the 2004 season that Saint Mary's has had three honorees.
