Overland Park, KS – It was a historic day in Kansas Sunday afternoon as Keiser (women) and Georgia Gwinnett (men) were crowned 2025 ITA NAIA National Team Indoor Champions. In just the championships third season, the title marked the second Indoor Championship for Keiser in program history and the second Indoor Championship for Georgia Gwinnett in program history.

Dethroning longtime NAIA powerhouse Georgia Gwinnett in the women’s final, today marked just the third NAIA loss since the 2017-18 season for the Georgia Gwinnett women’s program (all to Keiser), while the Georgia Gwinnett men’s program narrowly avoided what would have been just the second loss to an NAIA program in Georgia Gwinnett men’s tennis history (Keiser, 2023).

Beginning with the women’s championship match, it was Keiser who jumped out to an early lead after earning victories from the No. 1 and No. 3 doubles positions. Sunday’s performance in doubles was a mirror image of what the Seahawks have done all tournament having dropped just 14 games across 44 games played in finished doubles matches.

In singles, we saw some quick work from the No. 1 and No. 2 singles position with Keiser taking court one after only dropping one game, while Georgia Gwinnett grabbed a win on court two with only one game lost as well. Across the remainder of the lineup, Keiser grabbed victories from the No. 4 and No. 5 singles positions in straight sets to secure the Team Indoor Title.

Today’s victory marked the second ITA NAIA National Team Indoor Championship for the Keiser program, which puts them one ahead of Georgia Gwinnett who claimed last years title.

As a rematch of the 2024 ITA NAIA National Team Indoor Championship finals, Georgia Gwinnett once again took down Tennessee Wesleyan in what was a battle of a match that came down to a decisive third set from the No. 1 singles position.

After the Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead in doubles, the match was locked in a stalemate after the Grizzlies won three straight set matches from the No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 singles positions, while Tennessee Wesleyan earned wins from the No. 5 and No. 6 positions. With all sights now on court one, it was the senior Jeremias Rocco who came through in the clutch for Georgia Gwinnett winning 7-6, 5-7, 6-4 in the decisive match.

This marked the second straight Indoor title for Georgia Gwinnett and continues their dominance as a program, having not lost a dual match since 2023 when they fell to Keiser in the Team Indoor final.
