Auburn women's tennis swept Miami on Saturday to move on to the NCAA Super Regional.

Auburn women's tennis is on a roll, and they're not stopping anytime soon. On Saturday, May 2, the Tigers delivered a commanding 4-0 shutout victory over Miami, punching their ticket to the NCAA Super Regional for the second straight year. It's a milestone that cements this 2026 squad's place in program history—this marks the sixth time Auburn has reached this stage, and they're playing with the confidence of a team destined for greatness.

From the opening serve, Auburn set the tone. "We had our best doubles point of the year," head coach Jordan Szabo said. "Everyone was aggressive and going after their shots." That energy carried into singles play, where the Tigers won five first sets, putting Miami on the back foot early. Standout performances included Merna Refaat, who battled to build a commanding lead in her second set, and DJ Bennett, who faced an opponent with just two losses all season and still controlled the match. Szabo credited the home crowd for fueling the team's fire: "I really think the difference for us was that we had an amazing crowd, and we'll need that again next weekend."

The Tigers have been unstoppable on their home turf, boasting a perfect 21-0 record at Yarbrough Tennis Center this season. With an overall record of 34-3, Auburn is riding high under Szabo's leadership, now in his second consecutive Super Regional appearance. Next up, they'll host the No. 15 Duke Blue Devils in a clash that promises high-stakes drama. The date and time are still to be announced, but fans can mark their calendars—admission will be free and open to the public.

For Auburn supporters, this is more than just a win; it's a statement. The Tigers are proving they belong among the nation's elite, and with a home crowd behind them, they're poised to keep making history. Whether you're courtside or watching from home, this is a team worth rallying behind.
