Hamilton College's Sophia Aulicino '21 (Simi Valley, Calif./La Reina HS) has earned 2021 Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Division III All-America honors for her women's singles play this past spring.

2021 ITA D3 Women's All-America release

Aulicino is the first all-American in Hamilton women's or men's tennis history. A student-athlete is an all-American if she is a top eight seed or wins one round in the NCAA singles tournament, or if she finishes the season in the top 20 in the final Oracle ITA national rankings. Aulicino is one of 24 singles all-Americans in Division III.

Aulicino ended up at No. 19 in the Oracle ITA Top 50 National Singles women's rankings. She competed in the singles draw of the individual portion of the 2021 NCAA Division III Women's Tennis Championships in late May and was the first Hamilton tennis player to compete in the NCAA championships. She defeated 24th-ranked Amy Delman of Middlebury College in a dual match back on April 10.

Aulicino finished her collegiate career with a 33-16 singles record. She was a 2021 recipient of the College's Jack B. Riffle Award, which has been presented annually since 1987 to the top male and female athlete in Hamilton's senior class.
