The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) East Division has released the 2016 Women's Tennis Preseason Poll and Johnson State College has been ranked to finish fifth in a vote conducted by the league's coaches.
Johnson State (2015: 6-7, 4-3 NEAC East) will be led by head coach Michele Whitmore, who enters her eighth year coaching the Badgers. Junior captains Nicole Monick (Bennington, Vt.) and Kali Covell (Hartford, Vt.) will lead the Badgers, who will be looking to build off of their NEAC East Semifinal appearance last season. With a group of talented returning players and new prospects, the Badgers look to remain among the postseason contenders in 2016. Johnson begins the season September 1 in a home match against Castleton.
