The 2025-26 Augustana women's tennis team opened the season by competing at the ITA Regional Championships before jumping out to a strong start in conference play. The Vikings won their first three CCIW duals, edging North Park and Illinois Wesleyan by identical 4-3 scores before earning a 7-0 sweep of Millikin to improve to 3-0 in league action.
At the ITA Regional Championships, each Viking representative recorded at least one victory. Hannah Colbert and Colleen Larry, seeded in doubles, advanced to the third round after an 8-5 victory over Ohio Northern before falling to the tournament's second-seeded duo. In singles competition, Colbert, Larry and Maripaz Ramirez each picked up opening-round victories before bowing out against seeded opponents.
Returning to conference play, Augustana endured a challenging stretch with losses to Wheaton and North Central before bouncing back with a 7-0 sweep of Elmhurst. The Vikings closed the fall campaign by dropping a narrow 4-3 decision at Carthage before defeating Carroll 5-2 to finish conference play with a 5-3 record.
The spring season opened against Coe and Cornell before the Vikings traveled to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for their annual spring break trip, facing DePauw and Oberlin. Augustana returned home to collect a thrilling 4-3 victory over Central before adding a 6-1 road win at Monmouth. During the victory over the Fighting Scots, Colbert became one of the members of Augustana's 100-career-win club, combining victories in both singles and doubles throughout her career.
Following a road contest at Luther, the Vikings closed the regular season with a 5-2 victory over Loras to finish with a 9-10 overall record. Augustana carried that momentum into the CCIW Tournament, opening postseason play with a dominant 4-0 sweep of Carroll in the quarterfinals before seeing its season come to an end with a 4-1 semifinal loss to North Central.
