Right now, no athletic program on Texas A&M’s campus is operating at a higher level than women’s tennis. Under head coach Mark Weaver, the Aggies have built a machine. One that wins, develops elite talent, and now recruits at a national‑best level.
Weaver’s story is part of what makes the rise so remarkable. He joined the program in 1999 as a volunteer assistant, worked his way through the staff ranks, and took over as head coach in 2015. Since then, the trajectory has been nothing but upward. The Aggies have reached the Sweet Sixteen every season since 2019, and over the last three years alone, they’ve captured two national championships and finished as national runner‑up in the third.
Despite not having a facility that matches their on‑court dominance, a conversation for another day, the program has become one of the premier destinations in college tennis.
A&M’s success isn’t just team‑based; it’s individual excellence, too. The Aggies have produced the No. 1 collegiate player in the country in multiple seasons, first with Mary Stoiana and now with Lucciana Perez, reinforcing the program’s reputation for developing top‑tier talent. That development pipeline, paired with A&M’s growing national profile, has also made the Aggies a legitimate landing spot for some of the best junior players in the world.
With several key departures after last season, A&M needed a strong recruiting class to maintain its championship standard. They delivered, landing the No. 1 signing class in the nation, according to Tennis Recruiting Network.
The dynasty isn’t slowing down. If anything, it’s reloading.
