Dayna (Reilly) Kitterick was a two-time Little East Conference Player of the Year and six-time All-LEC selection in her three seasons as member of the Rhode Island College women’s tennis team from 2015-17, playing every match at the No. 1 positions. She led the Anchorwomen to three LEC regular season titles and one LEC tournament championship

The Swansea, Mass. native closed out her career as an Anchorwoman with a 41-5 (.891) career singles record and a 39-7 (.848) career doubles mark for 60.5 career points. At the conclusion of her career, Reilly was ninth in career singles wins and 10th in both career doubles wins and points.
 
She was named the LEC Player of the Year for the first time as a junior in 2016, in addition to earning First Team All-Little East in singles and in doubles. Reilly was 14-1 in both singles and doubles for 21.0 points on the season. RIC won the LEC regular season title that year, and was runner-up in the LEC Championship Tournament. 
 
Reilly repeated as the Little East Player of the Year as a senior in 2017 while once again garnering First Team All-LEC singles and netting Second Team All-LEC honors in doubles honors as she went 17-0 in singles and 15-3 in doubles for 24.5 points. Her 17-0 record in singles tied Julie Bannon’s effort (2006) for the most wins and highest winning percentage in a season. 

Reilly was additionally named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2017 LEC Championship Tournament after leading the Anchorwomen to their first-ever team tournament title, and in doing so qualified for the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament for the first time in program history. RIC went on to win its NCAA tournament debut with a 5-2 victory over Nazareth. 
 
Reilly transferred to RIC as a sophomore in 2015 and made an immediate impact on the program. She was named First Team All-Little East after posting a 10-4 singles record and 10-3 doubles record for 15.0 points on the season. 

Reilly earned her bachelor's degree in nursing from Rhode Island College in 2018, and was inducted into the RIC Athletics Hall of Fame in 2023.
