Lander University Shines in 2025 Peach Belt Conference Women’s Tennis Awards

In the dynamic city of Greenwood, exciting news is making waves as the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) rolls out its 2025 Women’s Tennis All-Conference award winners. Lander University’s very own Evelyn Altmaier and Hannah Panchal have both received prestigious recognitions, showcasing the college’s talent in the competitive world of collegiate tennis.

Evelyn Altmaier Takes Center Stage

Evelyn Altmaier has struck a chord this season, bringing home the honor of Second Team All-Conference in singles. Her outstanding performance across the board included an impressive overall record of 11-6 in singles play. It’s clear that Altmaier knows her way around the court, as she also secured a solid 9-5 record in doubles playing. This year, her skill and determination did not go unnoticed; she even earned the title of PBC Player of the Week for her exceptional efforts!

Hannah Panchal’s Stellar Achievement

Hannah Panchal has achieved something particularly special by receiving the coveted Elite 18 Award presented by Barnes & Noble College. This award highlights her academic excellence, proving that she excels not only on the tennis court but in her studies as well. The combination of athletic prowess and academic dedication is truly commendable, making her a standout in her field.

4-3. This match was particularly gripping, especially as Lander initially clinched the doubles point with victories at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles. Although Andrea Gonzalez and Juliana Martinez faced a tough match losing 3-6 at No. 1 doubles, Camila Taborga and Giovanna Patrocinio gave it their all, but fell just short at 5-7 in their match at No. 3 doubles. The No. 2 doubles featuring Julieta Palma and Priscilla Landi was tied at 5-5 when the match concluded, leaving players and fans eager for more.

Single Matches: A Rollercoaster Ride

5-7, 6-4, 7-6 (7-2). Though Landi was on the verge of a win at No. 4 with a lead of 7-5, 5-4 when the match was clinched by Augusta. Taborga brought some positive news for Lander by winning her match at No. 5 with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 6-0 and Patrocinio followed suit at No. 6, ending with a victory of 5-7, 6-1, 6-2.

Despite Lander’s defeats in the top two singles positions—where Gonzalez lost 4-6, 3-6 at No. 1 and Martinez losing 2-6, 3-6 at No. 2—there are many reasons for fans to celebrate the hard work and dedication exhibited by these student-athletes.

Looking Ahead

Looking towards the future, Augusta University has an extended break ahead, with their next match scheduled against Flagler on April 17. They will also be gearing up for the PBC Championships in Columbus, GA, where nothing less than excellence is expected. As the season heats up, all eyes will be on both Lander and Augusta University to see how these dynamic teams continue to shape the landscape of women’s collegiate tennis.
