The St. Thomas Aquinas College Women's Tennis team has earned the #2 seed and hosting duties in the upcoming 2023 NCAA Division II Women's Tennis Championship East Regional Round of 32, and will take on #3 seeded Jefferson University.

Hosting the East Regional match will be a first for both the Women's Tennis program and St. Thomas Aquinas College as a whole, having never overseen an NCAA sanctioned tournament event in the institution's 23 year history as Division II members.
