Arli Earns First-Team All-CAA Singles Honors

WILMINGTON, N.C. – UNCW women's tennis junior Eda Arli headlined the Seahawks' Coastal Athletic Association award winners on Friday afternoon, earning a spot on the first team for singles.

After being named CAA Rookie of the Year in 2023 and a member of the CAA's second team for singles in 2023 and 2024, Arli went 8-6 overall with seven wins in No. 1 singles in 2025 to capture a spot on the first team for the first time.

During the regular season, Arli posted a 5-2 record against CAA opponents from the No. 1 spot and helped guide the Seahawks to their most CAA wins in a single season since at least 2006-07.

Senior Stela Joksimovic earned a spot on the CAA's third team for singles for the second straight season.

In 2025, Joksimovic compiled an 8-7 overall record, including an 8-5 mark in No. 2 singles. 

Joksimovic also posted a 5-2 record against CAA opponents during the regular season in No. 2 singles and ended the season with a 7-2 record in her last 10 matches.

Arli and Elif Albayrak earned All-CAA honors for the second straight season in doubles. The juniors earned a spot on the league's second team after a 7-5 record from the No. 1 doubles spot, including a 4-3 record in conference matches.

"Eda, Stela and Elif are well-deserving of these CAA honors," head coach Hans Olsen said. "A tremendous accomplishment in such a strong conference as the CAA. Go Hawks!"
