Last Season: A Top-15 Season in the Desert
The 2025–26 season was the one that announced Arizona State women’s tennis as a national force. Ranked No. 11 nationally during the season, the Sun Devils built their year on a top of the lineup that simply did not give matches away. Emilija Tverijonaite, the team’s No. 1 singles player, went 19–3 overall and 16–3 in duals, including a win over a ranked UCLA opponent at No. 1 — the kind of result that tells you a player belongs on the biggest courts. Behind her, senior and graduate star Vivian Ovrootsky went 19–4 overall and 19–1 in duals, and together the two formed the team’s doubles partnership as well as its one-two singles punch. Junior Sara Svetac, the No. 2 singles regular, added an 8–5 season of her own. No single result defines a season like that — it was the week-after-week consistency of the trio, in the maroon and gold, that carried the Sun Devils into the national conversation. The heritage strip reads TEMPE • EST. 1885 • FORKS UP — 1885 being the university’s founding year, the root of everything the program stands on.
Best Players Right Now
Emilija Tverijonaite, No. 1 Singles — The headliner, and the player every opponent’s scouting report starts with. Tverijonaite’s 2025–26 season — 19–3 overall, 16–3 in duals, with a win over a ranked UCLA opponent at No. 1 — made her the Sun Devils’ standard-bearer at the top of the lineup. A No. 1 singles player who wins that consistently does more than collect victories: she sets the tone for the whole team, and she is the reason the Sun Devils spent the season ranked among the nation’s best.
Vivian Ovrootsky, Senior Star — The veteran engine of the team. Ovrootsky’s 2025–26 numbers — 19–4 overall and a remarkable 19–1 in duals — speak to a player who almost never lost when the team needed her most, and as Tverijonaite’s doubles partner she gave the Sun Devils a second weapon at the top of every lineup. Senior and graduate leadership like that is what turns a good team into a ranked one.
Sara Svetac, No. 2 Singles — The junior holding down the No. 2 singles spot. Svetac’s 8–5 season in 2025–26 made her the reliable second act behind the top pair — the player who kept the lineup deep and the duals winnable even when the top courts were under pressure. Depth like that is what separates ranked teams from the rest, and Svetac is a big part of why Tempe stayed in the conversation all season.
Star Spotlight: Stories You Should Know
The No. 1 who beat ranked opposition. Every great team needs a signature win, and Tverijonaite delivered one at the very top of the lineup: a victory over a ranked UCLA opponent at No. 1 singles during the 2025–26 season. That is the kind of result that travels — it told the rest of the country that Arizona State’s No. 1 could beat anyone’s No. 1, and it framed the whole ranked season that followed.
A doubles pair that doubled as a singles punch. Tverijonaite and Ovrootsky were not just the Sun Devils’ top two singles threats — they were doubles partners too, a combination that gave Tempe an edge in every dual. When your No. 1 and your senior star also play together, the whole lineup feels connected, and opponents feel it from the first ball.
Ranked No. 11 — and built on consistency. National rankings do not come from one hot weekend; they come from months of winning. The Sun Devils’ No. 11 national ranking during 2025–26 was earned the hard way: a 16–3 dual record at No. 1, a 19–1 dual record from the senior star, and a deep lineup behind them. That consistency is the identity of this team.

This Season: Carrying the Ranking Forward
This season is about carrying a ranking forward, not starting over. The Sun Devils enter the new campaign with the standard set by 2025–26: a No. 11 national ranking, a No. 1 singles star who beat ranked opposition, and a lineup built on week-after-week consistency. The challenge for any ranked team is the same — everyone circles your name on their schedule, and every dual becomes a measuring stick. For Sun Devils fans, the brief is simple: get behind the maroon and gold, be loud in Tempe, and watch this program defend its place among the nation’s best. Forks up.
Mark Your Calendar: The Road Ahead
Sun Devils fans, one honest note on the calendar: no verified fixture dates for the new season had been published at the time of writing, so this guide does not list match dates it cannot stand behind. When the full schedule is released, this guide will be updated with every Arizona State date. Until then, the dates that matter are the ones already in the books — a ranked 2025–26 season built by Tverijonaite, Ovrootsky and Svetac in the maroon and gold.
Biggest Rivalries — The Wars
1. Arizona — the in-state war. Nothing in college sport matches an in-state rivalry, and for Arizona State that means Arizona. Maroon and gold against the red and blue, Tempe against Tucson, Forks Up against Bear Down — when the Sun Devils and the Wildcats meet, the whole state watches. No results are claimed here; the rivalry needs no scoreline to matter, because in Arizona it is personal all year round.
2. UCLA — the measuring stick. The Bruins are the program Tverijonaite beat at No. 1 during the ranked 2025–26 season, and that single verified result makes this the rivalry with a receipt. UCLA is the kind of opponent that tells you exactly where you stand nationally — and the Sun Devils already proved they can stand toe to toe at the top of the lineup.
3. The rest of the ranked field — the new wars. A No. 11 national ranking makes every opponent a rival. Ranked teams do not get quiet weekends: every dual is a chance for someone else to take your spot, and every win is a statement that Tempe belongs. Expect the Sun Devils to be circled on every schedule they appear on this season.
