Tucson, Ariz. -- Four Arizona Wildcats were named All-Pac-12 on Friday. Sarah Blacker, Alana Rennie, and Alex Parkhurst were named All-Pac-12 Second Team for their 2021 performances while freshman Mady Noble picked up an All-Freshman Team honor for her performance in the 2021 season. 

This is Sarah Blacker's first All-Pac-12 honor in her three years at Arizona. She finished the season 18-7 (.720) with partners Alex Parkhurst (flight 1) and Brooke Burling (flight 2) bringing her career record up to 51-13 (.797).

This is Alana Rennie's first All-Pac-12 honor, coming after only two years of match play. Her first season at Arizona was cut short due to Covid-19 which led to a record of 3-0.

She finished the season with an overall career record of 18-13 and an overall winning percentage of .580.

This is Alex Parkhurst's first All-Pac-12 honor, coming in her second year at Arizona. In her first season ('20) she held the longest winning streak of nine matches before the season was cut. After that 11-1 run she went on to see 2021 match play on court one with Sarah Blacker and Alana Rennie. She finished the season 15-13 bringing her career record to 26-14 (.650). These 26 wins land her in 16th place in program history for overall career wins. 

Mady Noble was the only freshman to receive an All-Pac-12 Freshman team honor. In her first season at Arizona Noble went 21-4 with Dana Parker (flight 3,4,5) and Olivia Hallaran (flight 4), earning her the highest winning percentage of the season (.840) and tying her for the most wins.
