KANSAS CITY, Mo.- The MIAA announced its postseason awards and All-MIAA teams for the 2025 women's tennis season. Dana Issabayeva earned a spot on First Team All-MIAA singles.
Issabayeva ended her season with a 19.95 ITF world tennis number. Issabayeva reached a season high 50th in ITA singles rankings. The All-MIAA teams are selected based off of conference wins by the individual. In conference play, playing at the top singles spot, Issabayeva recorded a record of 5-3. Issabayeva tallied wins against Emporia State, Central Oklahoma, Missouri Western, Northwest Missouri, and Arkansas- Fort Smith. All of her wins were in two sets, never allowing her opponent to force a third set in conference play.
