She is a high-level individual with her best tennis definitely ahead of her and we believe that she's going to soar in the college tennis environment. She has high goals for herself and the team. She absolutely loves the sport and is hungry to develop and is a relentless competitor. She is going to be a blast to work with and has so many intangibles that she will add to our program. She exemplifies what it means to be a Husky student-athlete and we are so fortunate to have her joining us."
