Nelson has a 22-1 record as a senior.

Aquinas coach Evan Huemoeller said one of the keys to Nelson's success has been her composure no matter the situation.

"She goes out there and plays each point like it's just another tennis point," Huemoeller said. "She goes out there and each match is a new match, and each point is a new point, and she doesn't take any points for granted."
