  • Women's Tennis
    ADVANTAG E: Women’s Tennis The ITA Women’s Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame at William and Mary Celebrates the Legends of the Game By Sara Piccini he first intercollegiate tennis championship for men was held in 1883, with Harvard University’s Joseph Clark winning the Tsingles title. Women would have to wait a few more years for their own championship — 75 more years, to be exact. The long wait can be attributed to a number of factors, including lack of funding and lack of a strong governing body for women’s collegiate sports. And many college officials actively discouraged competition, touting “the spirit of play for its own sake,” concerned that young women couldn’t handle the competitive side of athletics. But women were proving just the opposite on the tennis court. The great champion Helen Wills, for instance, who earned a Phi Beta Kappa key from the University of California at Berkeley in 1925, won 31 Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals during the 1920s and ’30s. Inspired by these female champions, a pioneering group of women and men finally convinced the United States Lawn Tennis Association (now the USTA) to sponsor the first women’s intercollegiate champi - onship in 1958. Darlene Hard of Pomona College in California won the singles title. The following year, William and Mary’s own Donna Floyd Fales ’62 captured the singles title. Benefactors Betsy Nagelsen and the late Mark McCormack ’51, L.H.D. ’97 Women also had to wait a little longer for their own collegiate tennis with Hall of Fame Curator Millie West, honorary alumna.
