Tennis
A four-time All-American, Kathryn (Schmidt) Lozada is the most decorated women’s tennis player in school history. She is the only player in program annals to qualify for the NCAA Championships in singles four times, and she was the first member of either the Carleton men’s or women’s tennis programs to garner All-America recognition in singles all four years. Overall, Carleton women have earned seven total All-America awards in singles, with Lozada taking home four of those honors. She is the first and only player in program history to be named All-MIAC four times in both singles and doubles. Lozada owned a career singles record of 74-16—with all of those coming at No. 1 singles—including an astounding 37-1 ledger in MIAC regular-season matches. Playing solely at No. 1 doubles during her time at Carleton, she owned a career 69-22 doubles record, including a 36-2 mark in MIAC regular-season matches. During the 2009-10 season, Lozada won the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) Central Region tournament and went on to take fifth place at the ITA Small College Championships. As a senior, she was 22-5 in singles and went undefeated in singles during MIAC play for the third time in her career. She added an overall 20-8 doubles record that year, including an 8-1 mark in conference action. Lozada helped Carleton to 19-6 overall team record in 2012, including an undefeated (10-0) conference record. In early April, Carleton bested Gustavus Adolphus in a non-conference match, the team’s first victory over the Gusties since 1988. With Lozada leading the way, the Knights would go on to beat Gustavus twice more over the next month. She won in both singles and doubles as the Knights knocked off the Gusties 5-4 in the regular-season finale, allowing Carleton to capture its first regular-season title since 1987 and snapping Gustavus’ 20-year run atop the MIAC. Six days later, Lozada again won twice as Carleton defeated Gustavus 5-3 in the finals of the MIAC Playoffs. That result earned the Knights their fourth-ever trip to the NCAA Championships and their first since 2005. She was a four-time ITA Scholar Athlete and received both CoSIDA Academic All-District recognition and the PEAR Department’s Pat Lamb Award, honoring a Carleton senior exhibiting excellence in academics and athletics.
