SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Claiming a share of the West Coast Conference Women's Tennis Regular Season Championship led to San Diego garnering three of the 2025 West Coast Conference Women's Tennis major awards as the Conference announced the all-conference honors on Tuesday. For the second time in three years, San Diego's Nadia Abdala won Coach of the Year. Claudia de las Heras won Player of the Year, while her teammate Hannah Read and Pepperdine's Alexia Harmon were tabbed Co-Freshman of the Year.
Each of the all-conference teams and major awards were voted on solely by the WCC’s women's tennis head coaches.
De las Heras was voted the West Coast Conference Player of the Year after completing the regular season 13-9 in singles. She guided the Toreros on the No. 1 court to a share of the Conference regular season title for the first time in program history. De las Heras also went 10-9 in doubles with her partner Kailey Evans, and the tandem garnered West Coast Conference Doubles First-Team all-conference honors. De las Heras is the first Torero to win this award since Emma Murphy won in back-to-back years in 2004 and 2005.
Abdala has now won West Coast Conference Coach of the Year two times during her three-year tenure as head coach of the Toreros. USD has claimed this award six times now in program history.
Read is the first Torero to win Freshman of the Year since Solymar Colling in 2019. She went 10-6 in singles play, including her last six in a row. Read also racked up a doubles record of 6-7.
Harmon became Pepperdine's fourth West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year in the last five years. In singles, Harmon finished 23-7 in singles. In doubles, she went 7-5 with Liam Oved and 10-6 with Anastasiia Grechkina. Harmon's efforts helped the Waves earn a share of the Conference regular season title, giving the Waves at least a share of all 13 regular season titles since the West Coast Conference began recognizing a regular season champion in 2012.
De las Heras was named to the all-conference first team for the second straight year. Two Waves (Grechkina and Vivian Yang) and two Washington State student-athletes (Maxine Murphy and Eva Alvarez Sande) along with LMU's Stefania Rogozinska-Dzik made up the all-conference first team.
The Cougar duo of Sande and Murphy also garnered doubles all-conference first-team accolades with de las Heras and Evans. Pepperdine's Grechkina and Harmon completed the all-conference first team.
