[1/3] The NCAA's responsibility is to protect student-athlete well-being and by penalizing @UMassTennis , they are sending the message that we did something wrong. Misleading headlines and this message have resulted in our pictures being posted with labels such as "cheaters".

[2/3] We won the Championship fairly. No one knew about the money. There were no sports performance-enhancing violations resulting in any of our victories. The $252 made no difference. Just an unfortunate headline in what already is a tough year.

We have always fought with character and the professionalism that represents the UMass Flagship, and we will do the same for this matter. Please help us by signing my team’s petition: https://www.change.org/p/ncaa-support-a10-champion-umass-women-s-tennis-vs-the-ncaa?recruiter=22854092&recruited_by_id=60c72740-8693-0130-6f04-3c764e049b10&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=petition_dashboard

Go UMass, always
