The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference spotlighted excellence on the court this week, and Tuskegee University made one thing clear—its tennis programs are rolling at full strength.

Leading the charge on the men’s side, Kevin Wright delivered a complete performance during the SIAC Roundup, proving to be one of the most versatile players in the conference. Competing across both singles and doubles, Wright helped power Tuskegee to a 4-2 week and a second-place conference finish (9-3).

Whether it was clutch doubles wins or dominant straight-set victories in singles, Wright consistently showed up in key moments—helping secure critical team points and closing out matches with confidence. His ability to impact the game from multiple positions continues to elevate Tuskegee’s lineup heading into the final stretch.

On the women’s side, Taylor Ford was simply untouchable.

The senior standout led Tuskegee to a perfect 6-0 week, finishing the SIAC regular season with an undefeated 12-0 conference record—a milestone not achieved by the program in over two decades.

Ford dominated singles play with a flawless record, controlling matches from start to finish and rarely giving opponents an opportunity to respond. Her consistent straight-set victories and steady presence helped set the tone for a team that never let up throughout the week.

Beyond singles, her contributions in doubles play helped Tuskegee secure early momentum in matches, reinforcing the depth and discipline that define this squad.

As postseason play approaches, Tuskegee’s sweep of the weekly honors sends a clear message—the Golden Tigers aren’t just competing, they’re setting the standard across the SIAC.
