On the court, the native of Tel Aviv, Israel, went 17-7 in singles as a senior, including an NCAA dual win against Kentucky and a pair of victories against the ACC's number six singles flight champion. Strauss recorded a 4-2 record against ACC opponents and went 10-4 in all dual matches. In doubles, Strauss posted a 6-2 mark. The leadership of Strauss, one of the team's three seniors, was instrumental in helping Wake Forest qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight year.
