NORFOLK, Va. – The Norfolk State women's tennis duo of Naz Karagoz and Barbora Stejskalova were voted to the MEAC All-Time Women's Tennis Team, announced by the conference this week in celebration of its 50^th anniversary.
 
The MEAC is honoring the top 50 players from each sport with its 50^th anniversary teams. The Spartans finished with a pair of individuals as voted on by a variety of fans and individuals.
 
Karagoz played just one season with the Spartans as a grad transfer from Tulane, but it was a season not to forget. She was named the 2019 MEAC Player of the Year, a first for the NSU women's tennis program. The Istanbul, Turkey native went 9-1 overall in singles that year, including a perfect 5-0 mark in conference play. The first-team All-MEAC performer also went 7-3 in doubles, 4-1 in the MEAC. The Spartans posted a 4-1 record in the MEAC Northern Division and were awarded the division title in Karagoz' lone season at NSU.
 
Stejskalova was one of the first great players in Norfolk State's Division I history. She was a three-time first-team All-MEAC honoree from 2001-03. She is the only player in program history to earn first-team honors at least twice. The Brno, Czech Republic native led NSU to a MEAC Tournament runner-up finish her junior year in 2002. The Spartans went 9-1 in the MEAC in her senior year in 2003, finishing second in the regular season standings.
