Jamie Loeb of North Carolina is NCAA tennis champ

Jamie Loeb made it to the NCAA quarterfinals as a freshman.

A year later, she is North Carolina's first singles tennis champion.

Loeb defeated second-seeded and fellow sophomore Carol Zhao 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 on Monday, denying Stanford its 15th NCAA women's singles title.

"I'm speechless. It feels amazing. Last year I was a little disappointed," Loeb said. "To finish the way I did is just an amazing feeling."
