2004 All-Americans Manon Kruse and Carien Venter earned Middle Tennessee’s first All-America honors at the conclusion of the 2004 season by finishing ranked 10th nationally in doubles. The duo compiled a 28-5 doubles mark during their senior campaign, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Doubles Championships. Kruse ended her career as the all-time leader in wins in both singles and doubles, making three straight appearances in both the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships. Venter concluded her career as a Blue Raider ranked second in singles victories and fourth in doubles wins and made her only postseason appearance with Kruse in 2004. The tandem put together a 20-match winning streak during dual match play, a stretch that ended with the second-round loss in the NCAA Championships. In the process, they defeated three ranked opponents, including Vanderbilt’s third-ranked Kelly Schmandt and Aleke Tsoubanos. Kruse made history throughout her career, becoming the first Blue Raider in any NCAA individual postseason event, earning the school’s best ranking in both singles (29) and doubles (7), and producing the most doubles wins in a year with 30 in 2002.
