Jonita (Randolph) Joseph’s arrival on campus and her stellar play on the court for four years helped turn an upstart team into a conference contending program year in and year out.
Joseph joined the program in 2004, three years following its inaugural season and with just eight total wins during its young history. Her immediate success earned her 2004 Big South Freshman of the Year honors and helped the Lady Flames finish the season with a 12-8 record.
Primarily playing her career as Liberty’s No. 1 singles player and part of the program’s No. 1 doubles tandem, Joseph finished her career with 61 singles wins, including a pair of 20-win seasons.
Joseph was the first player in program history to earn all-conference honors in singles three years of her career (2004, 2006, 2007) and was also the first three-time all-conference honoree in doubles (2004, 2006 and 2007) in program history. She was named to the Big South Women’s Tennis All-Decade Team (2000-09) in both singles and doubles, while earning All-Academic honors three times (2005, 2006 and 2007) and graduating from Liberty magna cum laude.
The native of Townville, S.C., capped off her career with a banner year as a senior. She posted a 19-3 record in singles play, becoming the program’s first-ever Big South Player of the Year in 2007.
