USC Women's Tennis Standouts Eryn Cayetano, Maddy Sieg Selected For NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships
May 02, 2023 | Women's Tennis
USC women's tennis has a pair of Trojans heading into NCAA Individual competition, with two Trojans locked in for singles play and one USC duo in that draw. Senior Eryn Cayetano and freshman Maddy Sieg have secured their spots in the 64-player NCAA Singles draw, while Cayetano and Sieg will make their NCAA doubles debut.
No. 11 Sieg carries a 27-2 overall singles record this season, going 117-1 in dual action. Carrying a three-match win streak, Sieg reached a career best singles ranking ahead of the beginning of the 2022-23 dual match season, debuting at No. 2 back in November. In Pac-12 singles action, the freshman went 9-1. Throughout the year, Sieg has beaten ten ranked opponents, including two in the top-15. This season, the freshman received Pac-12 Player of the Week honors during her USC debut and accumulated a 16-match unbeaten streak.
No. 44 Cayetano, meanwhile, is headed to her second NCAA singles championship, reaching the quarterfinals last season. The senior began the fall as the No. 1 ranked singles player in the country. This season, the Southern California native has tallied an overall singles record of 22-10 (11-7 dual) while playing primarily at the No. 3 position for the Trojans.
USC's top doubles duo – No. 17 Cayetano and Sieg – carry a 14-3 overall record in NCAA play. The duo will make their NCAA doubles debut this season.
