Sewanee Athletics Hall of Fame
Jordan Casey was a four-year member of the women's tennis team. During her career, the Tigers made three NCAA Championship appearances as a team, including Sewanee's third-place finish in 2007. Sewanee also locked up the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship that season as well.Â
Casey was a part of the SCAC All-Tournament Team in 2007 at No. 6 singles, and the league highlighted her win as a part of the SCAC's top-20 moments to celebrate 20 years of the league's existence in 2011. Dropping the first set, 4-6, to Kristine Lewry of then No. 1 DePauw, Casey rallied to win the next two sets, 6-4, 6-3 to win the team's first SCAC Championship since 1997.Â
A two-time All-SCAC selection, Casey finished 58-20 in singles, and with her win percentage at 74%, she is 13th all-time in the category. At the end of her career, she was ranked 49th nationally in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA). Additionally, her winning percentage of .928 in her freshman year (13-1) is the best in program history.Â
In the classroom, Jordan was the college's 27th recipient of the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and was named Academic All-America by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).Â
