Individual Success
The top three courts were successful and consistent for the Sand Devils all season. The six Sun Devils on those courts stayed there all season. Kensinger was on court one all year, starting with Pemberton before Williamson switched from the twos to the ones. Besecker held down court two, first with Williamson before playing with Pemberton. Ames and Sweeney were the only pair to stay together all season, all at the threes.
The leader in individual wins was Williamson with a 24-7 record, which is the third-best single season record in ASU history. With Besecker on court two, she won nine-straight matches together. Individually, Williamson extended the win streak to 11 while Besecker got it up to 12, the top two longest win streaks in ASU history. Besecker’s season record was the second best at 22-7, tied for the sixth best in team history.
Ames and Sweeney were the consistent pair for Arizona State. They played every dual on court three and earned a 20-10 record, which is tied for the fourth-best record by a pair in a single season at Arizona State and is the ninth best for individual wins. They each earned 61 wins throughout their Sand Devil career, putting them in a tie at No. 3 for most individual career wins.

Haughy switched between the fours and fives for a 14-14 record in her first season. She paired up the most with Kirunchyk on court four and Nieves Papaleo on five. Of Kirunchyk’s 10-14 record, she played all but one dual at the No. 4 spot, teaming up with sophomore Carys Thomas and Haughy. Kirunchyk ended the season with senior Kate Fitzgerald on that court.
Nieves Papaleo had a strong 15-5 record in her second season, all on court five. She went 6-3 with Haughy, including the last few weekends of the season, and also went 6-2 with sophomore Kendall Whitmarsh. Her other three wins came with Thomas. Between courts four and…
