TEMPE, Ariz. |  The Georgia College & State University women's tennis team finished the 2024 season at No. 49 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Division II Computerize Rankings sponsored by Tennis-Point.

The objective of the ITA Rankings is to accurately reflect team and player performance occurring solely within sanctioned college tennis dual matches and tournaments and solely within one given academic season. The ITA Rankings Algorithm is based on an accumulation of win points and loss points, accounting for a win-loss record, the strength of schedule, and the depth/significance of wins and losses. As the season progresses, the value of each win and loss adjusts to reflect the most recent ranking of the opponent. The ITA rankings is for publicity purposes only and is not used in the selection process for the NCAA Division II postseason.

The Bobcats, who completed the 2024 campaign at 12-11, had 12.12 points in the computerized rankings.

Individually Jada Young finished season ranked No. 4 in singles in the Southeast region by the ITA, while Young teamed up with Ashton Morrison to be ranked eighth regionally doubles. Young, who is a junior from Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, posted an 12-10 mark at No. 1 singles for GCSU. Young and Morrison, who is a senior from Cumming, Georgia, won nine matches at No. 1 doubles for Georgia College. Young was an All-Peach Belt Conference first team honoree in both singles and doubles, while Morrison was named to the All-PBC first team in doubles.
