FLUSHING, N.Y. – Entering the spring season, head coach Alan Nagel and the Queens College women's tennis team hold a 5-0 overall record and are 4-0 in East Coast Conference (ECC) play. Highlighting the undefeated start are four Knights who earned top spots in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) national and East Region rankings.

The 2025 ITA East Region Singles Champion, junior Lilie Bizouerne (La Ciotat, France) leads the way, ranked No. 17 nationally in singles and No. 1 in the East Region. The junior enters the spring undefeated in singles at 10-0, while also posting an 8-1 record in doubles.

Fellow classmate Sixtine Goubet (Lyon, France) is ranked No. 22 nationally and No. 2 in the East, carrying an 8-1 record in both singles and doubles into the spring season.

The French duo has also established itself as a formidable doubles team, earning a No. 25 national ranking and No. 2 in the East Region, further showcasing the depth and strength of the Knights' lineup. Bizouerne and Goubet are the first Knights pair to be ranked nationally in both singles and doubles since Maja Makal and Luisa Auffarth in 2019.
