EDISON, N.J. – In their debut season in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC), Sacred Heart women's tennis made an immediate impact, with three Pioneers earning All-MAAC honors, as announced by the league office on Thursday morning.
 
Ola Irla Bartyzel headlined the accolades, earning a spot on the All-MAAC First Team Singles after a standout first year campaign. The Mississauga, Ontario, native held down the top singles spot all season, finishing with an 8-7 dual match record and a strong 5-3 mark in conference play.
 
Bartyzel also teamed up with Aina Garriga to earn All-MAAC First Team Doubles honors. Competing at the No. 1 doubles position, the duo battled through a competitive slate to finish 3-3 in conference action.
 
Rounding out the Pioneers' all-conference selections was sophomore Hana Hofmanova, who secured a spot on the All-MAAC Second Team Singles. Hofmanova turned in a stellar 9-3 overall record, including a dominant 5-1 performance against MAAC opponents.
