BREVARD, N.C. - Following the conclusion of a record-breaking 2018-19 regular season for the Brevard College Tornados Women's Tennis program, BC student-athletes Samantha Sepe, Kelsey Kushner, and Margaret Correll earned conference honors. 

Sepe was named to the USA South Women's Tennis All-Conference First Team along with a selection as First Team West Division. Kushner was named to the Second Team West Division, while Correll was placed on the USA South Women's Tennis All-Sportsmanship Team.
