Sharon Gill was a four-year tennis letterwinner (2007-11) who ended her career as the all-time winningest singles (84) and doubles (80) player in school history while playing No. 1 singles and first doubles all four years.
 
She became the first player in school history to be voted GLIAC Women's Tennis Player of the Year in 2010, as well as earning her fourth consecutive First Team All-GLIAC honor.
 
Gill helped WSU to a 51-30 record and the first-ever NCAA Tournament victory in 2009 and another NCAA First Round triumph in 2010.
 
Gill won at least 20 singles matches all four years, including an 8-1 career mark at the GLIAC tournament.  She was ranked in the top 45 nationally in both 2009 and 2010.
 
She accumulated at least 21 doubles victories each of her last three seasons and was ranked 25th nationally as a senior.  Gill had a 9-3 career doubles record at the GLIAC Tournament, along with a 4-1 mark at the NCAA Regionals.
 
In the fall of 2009, Gill and doubles partner Milena Vuksanovic captured the ITA Midwest Regional Doubles Championship, then placed seventh nationally with a win over Mesa State at the ITA Small College National Championship.  The following year with doubles partner Kristina Goranskaya, the duo advanced to the finals of the ITA Midwest Regional Championship.
 
The 24-2 doubles mark in 2010-11 by Gill and Goranskaya set the WSU single-season mark for wins and winning percentage (.923) with the winning percentage record still ranking first in WSU history.
 
The 23 singles victories she accumulated as a sophomore was a WSU record at that time.
 
A native of Windsor, Gill earned her Doctorate of Pharmacy degree after being a three-time GLIAC All-Academic Team selection.
