PHILADELPHIA - After leading Dayton to a sixth place finish at the 2005 Atlantic 10 Women's Tennis Championships, senior Erin Kirkland was named on Tuesday to the A-10 All-Conference and Academic All-Conference Teams.

This season marks the fourth time that Kirkland has been named to the All-Conference Team. She was also selected to the All-Academic Team each of the three years she was eligible for nomination.

Kirkland (Dayton, Ohio/Alter HS) closed out her Flyer career this season with a 17-2 singles record and a 16-4 mark in doubles competition this Spring. She finished with a total of 168 combined career wins in both singles and doubles play, which are the most in UD program history. Kirkland also had a school record 51 combined wins last season for the Flyers.

The former CoSIDA Academic All-District and ITA All-Academic Scholar Athlete Award winner will graduate Sunday from UD with a degree in marketing.
