Rohrabacher and the marketing committee have worked hard this year to help create a greater sense of community amongst student-athletes through social media campaigns.

She finished the regular season with an 11-1 singles record (7-1 SEC), including the first “perfect” win of her career — a 6-0, 6-0 win over LSU’s Ashton Rabalais on March 10. She leads the Gamecocks with an .875 winning percentage in SEC singles play and started dual match play at 11-0 in singles, with 10 of those 11 wins being in straight sets.
In doubles, Rohrabacher went 11-2 in the regular season (5-1 SEC) with partner Megan Davies in the No. 3 lineup spot.
Rohrabacher and the Gamecocks will play as the three-seed in the 2018 SEC Tournament at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Tenn. Their first match takes place at 12 p.m. ET on Friday against the winner of Auburn and the winner of the first-round match between Missouri and Arkansas.
