Grace Riermann and Maggie Riermann became the first-ever two-time Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) All-Americans in Bethel University women's tennis program history.

The Stillwater, Minn. natives defended their Midwest Region Title back in September edging on Carleton's Maddy Prins and Faith Yim in comeback fashion. Gutting out the win in a super tiebreaker, the duo traveled to Rome, Ga. for the ITA Cup.

Grace was also named ITA Singles All-American for the first time, also the first in program history, having won the Midwest Region Singles draw as the No. 2 seed out of 96 competitors.

The doubles duo was ranked 15th nationally and third in the Central Region of the final ITA Rankings. In singles, Grace ranked 26th nationally and sixth in the Central Region.
