STOCKTON, Calif. – After pouring over 130 hours into helping improve University of the Pacific's campus and Stockton community at large, the women's tennis team was awarded the ITA's Northwest Region Community Service Award on Tuesday morning.

Throughout the 2024-25 year, the program was involved in such projects as Special Olympics pickleball, Pacific campus move in day, Pacific gives back day, and Prowlin' the Mile. To qualify for the award, a program must complete a minimum of 50 hours of community service and do so though both tennis and non-tennis activities.

"I am so proud that our team is invested in our community and university. With each event we participated in, the ladies came with a smile and were happy to give back to our community," head coach Mary Beth Gunn said. "I told our team at the beginning of the year that being involved in the community is something special and is important work, something bigger than tennis matches. I think it really helped our team keep perspective, focus and value putting others above ourselves."

Gunn and the Tigers will return to the court in the fall for the fall season and in early 2026 for the regular season.
