The most decorated women's tennis player in the history of the Southern Conference, Megan Dunigan was named Player of the Year in each of her four varsity seasons. Furman had a pretty good preview of the star player it was getting when the native of Oak Ridge, Tennessee completed a perfect 82-0 record in high school. Dunigan was the SoCon's Female Athlete of the Year in 2002. That same year, she led the Lady Paladins to a first-round victory over LSU in the NCAA Tournament, the first time a Conference women's tennis team won a match in the NCAAs. Voted MVP of the SoCon Tournament in 2000 and 2001, Dunigan also proved herself a champion in the classroom. She was a four-time member of the SoCon academic honor roll and twice was named to the Intercollegiate Tennis Association All-Academic team. She was also a 2002 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship winner. She finished her college career with an overall singles record of 79-19 and was voted into the Furman Hall of Fame in 2007. |
