Manon Kruse is the most decorated Blue Raider women’s tennis player to this day. In 2004, the ITA named Kruse an All-American, making her one of only two All-Americans in MT women’s tennis history. Kruse participated in every NCAA individual postseason tournament that the Blue Raiders were represented in, including the 2002, 2003 and 2004 singles and doubles tournaments. In three of those six national tournament appearances, Kruse advanced to the second round. Her combined win total of 170 still stands as the most in Blue Raider women’s tennis history, and she finished her career at second in four categories: singles wins, doubles wins, singles winning percentage, and doubles winning percentage. Kruse is also the only MT women’s tennis player in program history to be ranked in the top 10 in doubles wins as a pairing with two different doubles partners. She was a four-time All-Sun Belt Conference selection.
