Over the past 15 years, the NCTTA Champs has shown us such dominance by perennial favorites Texas Wesleyan University, always with strong opposition from Mississippi, and now more recently from two-time winners NYU. NYU is currently the second seed in this event.

In fact, last champs saw NYU claiming the Coed team title. Will they do it again, or will there be a changing of the guard? Will a new victor emerge from the shadows to bring home the hardware?

There are multiple contenders for the Coed team crown. The no. 1 seed Texas Wesleyan have two ringers in the form of Junior Communication students Zhen Deng and Jiaqi Lin, both the defending champions of the 2022 Women’s team and doubles events.

We all know in NCTTA that the women players occasionally have to do double duty, due to being able to contend for both Women’s and Coed’s team events, therefore teams powerhouses like Texas Wesleyan and also third seed Coed team UCLA flanked by Amy Wang and Rachel Sung, could make multiple waves throughout the competition.

Thus, the hype is on, the draws are strong, and as competitive as they have ever been before. It’s time to see what loudnproud passion, skills, and teamwork can do to take the Coed’s team event to the next level!
